Baked French Toast with Raspberry Sauce

I ate myself stupid! This was so good! I used Earthgrain's Sliced French Bread San Francisco Style (at HEB), but then skipped over the instructions of brushing the baking sheet with melted butter. I thought I would use Smart Balance shortening instead. Mistake! The butter would probably have made removing the French toast a lot easier... This will be perfect for Christmas morning - all festive and tasty! You'll find the recipe and photo on page 54 and 56 of the December 2007 issue #48 of Everyday Food.

Update December 2 -- the leftover raspberry sauce tastes wonderful warmed and served over Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Light Ice Cream!

Another update, June 1 -- Running low on milk and not wanting to run to the store, I also tried this with 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1 cup evaporated milk and 1/4 almond milk and added an extra splash of Almond Extract.  Toasted some sliced almonds to sprinkle on the top and made a blueberry sauce.
