Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup fat-free cream cheese

(about 5 ounces)

2 tablespoons apricot or strawberry spreadable fruit

8 thick slices French bread -- 1 inch thick

2 slightly beaten egg whites

1 beaten egg

3/4 cup skim milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice

Nonstick spray coating

1/2 cup apricot or strawberry spreadable fruit

Sliced fresh apricots or strawberries

(optional)

 

For a change of taste, top fruit-and-cream cheese-filled French with a

drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar instead of the

spreadable fruit.

 

In a small bowl stir together cream cheese and the 2 tablespoons spreadable

fruit. Using a serrated knife, cut a pocket in each of the bread slices by

making a cut in the center of each slice from the top almost to the

bottom. Fill each pocket with some of the cream cheese mixture.

 

In a shallow bowl beat together the egg whites, whole egg, milk, vanilla,

and apple pie spice. Spray a nonstick griddle with nonstick

coating. Preheat over medium heat.

 

Dip bread slices into egg white mixture, coating both sides. Cook bread

slices about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once to cook second

sides. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat the 1/2 cup spreadable fruit

until melted, stirring frequently. Serve over French toast. If desired,

garnish with fresh apricots or strawberries. Makes 8 stuffed slices.
