This is like a baked French Toast that doesn't require overnight soaking. It's quick and easy, too. I figured the carbs because I have Type 2 diabetes: the result made me happy! I divided it into 9 servings, so they are not those typically skimpy servings in most diabetic recipes. 10 carbs per serving isn't too bad for a rich-tasting treat. Enjoy! Note: my carb calculations are for Whey Low Golden, which has 1 net carb per tablespoon.

How To Make breakfast berry bread pudding

Step 1

Spray 8 x 8 pan with oil. Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

Spread cream cheese on bread, then cut bread into cubes and sprinkle in pan.
Step 3

Dice any remaining cheese and distribute over bread. You may use less than the entire 4 ounces of cream cheese and it will be fine.
Step 4

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar, then berries, and then 1/2 of brown sugar (2 T).
Step 5

Beat eggs, milk and vanilla. Pour over top. Sprinkle with rest of brown sugar.
Step 6

Bake in a bain marie at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes. Test with knife; it should come out clean.
Step 7

HINT: for bain marie, place casserole in a larger casserole, put on rack in preheated oven, then pour boiling water in larger pan to come up to at least half the height of casserole dish.
Step 8

Allow to cool slightly. Cut in 9 squares.
Step 9

OPTIONAL: Serve over a pool of pureed berries and top with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
