Ingredients

  • Vegetable cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-calorie margarine
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup diced green pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups skim milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups cubed French bread
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Method

  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add margarine, and place over medium-high heat until margarine melts. Add shallots and garlic; saute until tender. Add mushrooms; saute 5 minutes or until tender. Add zucchini and green pepper; saute 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Combine milk, eggs, egg whites, pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in vegetable mixture, bread cubes, and cheeses. Pour mixture into a 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 50 to 60 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut into rectangles, and serve immediately.
