Ingredients

  • 2 cup chopped french bread or your favorite type of bread
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk or your favorite nut milk
  • 4 oz chevre (soft goat cheese)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 bottle Brut-style Champagne or sparkling wine*
  • 1 medium Gala apple cubed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Coat a small baking dish with canola oil.
  • Chop baguette into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs. Add in soy milk, chevre, sugar and 1/2 c Cava to make a custard.
  • Put bread and apples in oiled baking dish and cover with the custard. Let stand for 10 min while you drink rest of the sparkling wine.
  • Bake for 25-30 min or until custard is set.
  • Serve with additional sparkling wine.

Notes

*Choose a sparkling wine that's affordable but is something you would enjoy drinking. There are a number of great choices in the $10-20 range, including Spanish Cavas, Cremants from France and American sparkling wines. Make sure that it's a Brut-style wine, not Brut Rosé, Demi Sec or Blanc de Noir. 

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and make a great breakfast treat!
