Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
- 4 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese and diced strawberries until well combined to create the filling.
Lay out 4 slices of bread and spread the cream cheese and strawberry mixture evenly across each slice. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to create 4 sandwiches.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and honey until smooth.
Place the sandwiches in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the sandwiches, ensuring all the bread is coated and soaking up the mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the French toast is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this low-fat version of baked stuffed French toast!
