INGREDIENTS:
Ready in about minutes or less!

cooking spray
6 eggs
1 tsp. grated orange zest
2/3 cup orange juice
3 T sugar, divided
pinch salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed and drained, if frozen)
8 slices (1 1/4 inch think) Italian or French bread
1/3 cup sliced almonds

DIRECTIONS:

Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs, zest, juice, 2 tablespoons sugar and salt until well blended. Pour into a 13" X 9" X 2" inch baking pan and set aside.

In a small bowl combine blueberries and the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Set aside.

With the tip of a sharp knife, cut a 1 1/2" wide pocket in the side of each slice of bread. Fill pockets with reserved blueberry mixture, dividing evenly. Place filled slices in egg mixture. Let stand, turning once, until egg mixture is absorbed, about 5 minutes per side. Arrange bread on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with almonds. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes, turning slices after 10 minutes.
