Ingredients
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 cups liquid egg substitute
2 cups nonfat milk
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
8 slices whole-grain bread, cubed
½ pound apple-cured bacon, chopped
3 small tart apples, such as Granny Smith
3 small red apples, such as McIntosh
Directions
Before you begin: Wash your hands.
-
Preheat oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Spray a 13-x-9-inch pan with the cooking spray. Arrange the bread in a pan.
-
Whisk the egg substitute, milk, sage, pepper and salt in a bowl; pour over the bread. Mix and push the mixture down with a rubber spatula. Set aside.
-
Cook the bacon thoroughly, but do not crisp. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
-
Wash, core and chop (but do not peel) the apples. Add the apples to the bread mixture; stir well and push down with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the bacon.
-
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Variation: Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded sharp Cheddar evenly over the top of the casserole after it has baked 30 minutes. Continue cooking until the cheese bubbles, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Serving Suggestion: Make this dish as a side dish to accompany a baked ham.
