Number Of Ingredients 11

2-1/2 cups cubed day-old white bread
2-1/2 cups cubed day-old whole wheat bread
2/3 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup Southwestern-style egg substitute
2 cups fat-free milk
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
6 tablespoons salsa

Steps:

Place half of the bread cubes in an 8-in.-square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with beans, spinach and half of the cheese. Top with remaining bread cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg substitute, milk, cilantro and salt. Pour over top. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with sour cream and salsa.
Yield: 6 servings.
