1 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 loaf French bread, about 8-10 oz.
3 cups milk
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

baking dish. Place in oven long enough to melt butter. Remove dish
from oven and brush melted butter on sides of dish.
Tear the bread into 1-inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
Mix the milk and vanilla together; pour over the bread. Allow to soak
about 10 minutes until the milk has been absorbed. Meanwhile, blend
in a separate bowl, then add 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Beat the eggs until frothy and fold into bread mixture. Fold in
blueberries. Spoon mixture into baking dish and sprinkle with the
remaining sugar. Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes, until the
pudding is puffed and browned. Serve while still warm with low fat ice
cream or lemon sauce.

nutrients.
