Ingredients

  • 12 slices whole grain bread
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 8 oz. mini mozzarella balls
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk any kind
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • coconut oil cooking spray
  • fresh basil to taste
  • aged balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze to taste

Instructions

  • First, preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with coconut oil cooking spray.
  • Make egg mixture by whisking together 8 large eggs, 1 cup almond milk, Italian seasoning and salt. Set aside.
  • Slice 12 pieces of bread into thirds, turn 90º and slice into thirds again.
  • Place half of the bread cubes in the casserole dish. Then, place half the mozzarella balls and half the tomatoes on top. Cover with remaining bread cubes and then top with the second half of the mozzarella balls and tomatoes.
  • Evenly pour egg mixture on top of bread and use your hands to submerge bread into egg mixture completely. You want to make sure everything is moist!
