They're sturdy: Both French toast and bread pudding require a soak in an egg and milk mixture to create the custardy final product. If the bread is thinly sliced or of too fine a crumb (aka squishy like Wonder Bread), it can fall apart during the cooking process. This is my version of bread pudding. French toast bread pudding is a healthy breakfast casserole that tastes like dessert! Made with sprouted wheat bread, apples, low-fat cream cheese, egg whites, and a touch of sugar and spices, you'll get all the decadent goodness of a bread pudding in a nutritious package.
