Three Berry-Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup blackberries
  • 1/3 cup blueberries
  • 1/3 cup raspberries
  • 2/3 cup semisoft farmer's cheese
  • 1 tbsp granular sugar substitute
  • 8 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 ground nutmeg
Makes 4 Servings

  1. In a medium bowl, combine blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cheese and sugar substitute. Using a fork, mash together lightly. Lay 4 slices of the bread on a work surface. Spread berry mixture evenly on slices and top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches. Lightly press around the edges to seal.
  2. In a shallow dish, beat eggs with milk, cinnamon and nutmeg. Dip both sides of sandwiches into egg mixtures, allow wxcess to drip off, and place sandwiches on a platter.
  3. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cook French toast in 2 batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Serve warm.

Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. The combination blackberries, bueberries and raspberries burst with so much juicy flavor when mixed with farmer's cheese. You can also use strawberries, cherries or any other kind of berry with this recipe and the French toast and it will still be delicious. You can have this dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner and can be enjoyed anytime of the year. If you cannot find semisoft farmer's cheese, you can use fat-free cottage cheese as well.
