Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of reduced-fat cream cheese on each of 4 slices of bread.
Top the cream cheese on each slice with a few strawberry slices, then cover with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated, but not soaking through.
Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup on the side.
