| Yield: 4 servings |
Ingredients:
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese or 1 cup cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 slices French bread (cut your own bread, slicing 1/2-inch thick almost through and another cut 1/2-inch all the way through, making a pocket to put your cheese mixture in.
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup low fat milk or (for a special treat) 1 cup of half and half
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 cups hulled, sliced strawberries (boysenberries are also good, chopped and sweetened) (or berry syrup)
Instructions:
- With mixer or blender, mix cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Spread cheese mixture in the pockets of the French bread.
- In a bowl, beat eggs and milk to blend.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of oil or margarine on grill.
- Dip cheese sandwiches in egg mixture. Place slightly apart in pan. Cook, turning until deep golden brown and firm to touch, about 2 minutes per side. Keep warm in oven at low temperature while the rest of the French toast is cooking.
