Date: Tue, 25 Jun 1996 16:59:46 -0400 For the cook who requested low-fat breakfast items, here is on that is truly excellent. I adapted it from a recent recipe printed in Taste of Home magazine. I have included both the original and the lower-fat version.

Cut bread into 1 inch cubes...place have in a greased 13x9x2 in baking dish. Cut cream cheese into 1 inch cubes; place over bread.Top with blueberries and remaining bread. In large bowl mix eggs, milk and honey.

Pour over bread mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bade at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 30 minutes more or until golden brown and the center is set.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch, add water. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in bluberries, reduce heat. Simmer for 10 minutes or until berries have burst.

serve over french toast. 8 servings (I find this recipe is better if you let the french toast cool for about 30 minutes before serving with the hot blueberry sauce) Digest eat-lf.v096.n080
