French Toast Kebabs

I found several recipe variations for this lovely breakfast or brunch dish.  This would be perfect for a shower or party.  Just have fun with it, and make this your own.





Ingredients:
8 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup nonfat buttermilk
pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 pint fresh blueberries
1/2 pint fresh raspberries
2 bananas, sliced
1 loaf (1 lb) un-sliced dense white bread, french bread
or your favorite bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

Toppings or Dipping Options:
Original Maple syrup
Berry flavored syrup
Vanilla Yogurt
Fruit Dip

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to warm. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, salt, and vanilla. Stir in bread.
2. In a large saute pan set over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Place half of the bread mixture in pan; cook, turning occasionally with a spatula, until browned on all sides. To keep warm, transfer to the oven. Cook remaining bread in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter as before.
3. Thread bread cubes onto skewers alternating with blueberries, raspberries, and banana slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, if desired.

Tips & Tricks:
