A Surprise-Inside French Toast
Keys: Diabetic Special Diets Breakfast Main Dish French France
European Mediterranean Yield: 6
Ingredients:
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup whipped cottage cheese
2 tbl low-fat cream cheese
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp any extract
(try orange, vanilla, strawberry, almond)
12 x egg substitutes
1/4 cup evaporated milk
Cooking spray as needed
Method:
Cut a pocket in each slice of bread. Open carefully.
With an electric beater, whip together the cheeses, sugar, and extract.
Spread the mixture evenly into each bread pocket.
Beat together the eggs and milk. Dip the bread slices in the egg-milk
mixture. Turn to coat both sides.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Coat with spray. Cook the
toast on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving Size: 1 slice (2 egg
substitutes).
Comments: Stuffed French toast with a creamy filling is good paired with
a fibrous fruit such as a 1/2 cup fresh raspberries. 6 slices challah or
French bread, cut 2 inches thick (if you can find whole-wheat, the
better)
This French toast is high in sodium, primarily because of the cheeses.
For a lower-sodium dish, substitute no-salt cheeses if you can find
them.
