Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes
Cook Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Preparation:
For the Apricot-Blueberry Topping: Drain apricots and blueberries, reserving the syrup. In a small saucepan combine the reserved syrup, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch, mixing until blended. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Slice apricots; add apricots and blueberries to the sauce. Heat through; cover and set aside.
For the French Toast: Whisk eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla in a shallow dish until blended. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Dip the bread into egg mixture, turning to soak both sides; place in the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned, turning once. Cut each into 4 triangles and arrange on serving plates. Spoon the apricot-blueberry topping over the toast; sprinkle with almonds.
