Stuffed French Toast

TGIF Friday April 29, 2011

First, have to say: I know our blogger friends are all over the country so sending the best to those that may be in the path of some of this crazy weather. Be safe!!!



I know some of you stay away from bread but for those that don't - hey, YUM! Great for a Sunday brunch party too! Use your fav healthy bread if that makes you feel better!  Easy to change up the jam flavor or even use less if you don't want so much.

Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
1/2 cup fat-free cream cheese
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup strawberry jam
8 1-inch slices French bread
2 egg whites
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice
Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

  1. Combine the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons jam. Make a slit in each slice of French bread to form a pocket; fill each with about 1 tablespoon of the cream-cheese mixture.
  2. In a small bowl, combine egg whites, egg, milk, vanilla, and apple pie spice. Lightly coat a nonstick griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.
  3. Dip the bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place slices on the hot griddle. Cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the 1/2 cup of jam until melted, stirring frequently. Pour over French toast.
