Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Low GI whole-grain bread
- 4 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Mixed fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or butter
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered erythritol or stevia (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the stuffing. In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with the mixed berries, lightly mashing the berries to incorporate into the cream cheese. Set the mixture aside.
Take your slices of low GI whole-grain bread and spread 2 tablespoons of the berry-cream cheese mixture on one side of two slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread to create two sandwiches.
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup (if using).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated to prevent sogginess.
Place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove from the pan and let the French toast rest for a minute. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally for presentation.
Garnish with fresh berries and a sprinkle of powdered erythritol or stevia, if desired. Serve warm.
