| 1 |
Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a large
baking sheet with cooking spray. |
| 2 |
In a medium bowl beat eggs, peel, juice,
2 tablespoons of the sugar and the salt until well blended.
Pour into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan; set aside. |
| 3 |
In a small bowl combine blueberries
and the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside. With
the tip of a sharp knife, cut a 1-1/2-inch wide pocket
in the side of each bread slice. 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 on each side. |
| 4 |
Arrange bread on prepared baking sheet;
sprinkle with almonds. Bake until golden brown, about
15 minutes, turning slices after 10 minutes. Serve with
Blueberry Orange Sauce. |

stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. |
