French Toast Stuffed With Strawberries
March 7, 2023
Ingredients
1 cup low-fat ricotta or cottage cheese
1⁄2 cup skim milk
2 cups strawberries, sliced
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp sliced or chopped almonds
1 Tbsp butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1⁄4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 slices whole wheat bread
Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions
- Place the ricotta, milk, strawberries, honey, and almonds in a mixing bowl and stir gently to combine. Set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Beat the eggs with the milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a shallow dish.
- Working one slice at a time, place the bread in the egg mixture, turning it over once to thoroughly coat, then add it directly to the hot pan.
- Repeat until the pan is full.
- Cook each slice for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust is formed.
- Remove from the pan.
- Divide the strawberry mixture among four slices of toast, spreading to evenly coat.
- Top them each with another slice to make a sandwich, then slice on the diagonal to create two equal triangles. Serve with a shake of powdered sugar or a drizzle of pure maple syrup, if you prefer.
