"A deliciously low-fat French toast recipe. For a change of taste, top fruit and cream cheese-filled French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup in place of the honey or preserves."

- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup fat free cream cheese (about 5 oz.)
- 2 tablespoons fruit preserves, whatever flavor you prefer
- 8 slices French bread, 1-inch thick
- 2 slightly beaten egg whites
- 1 beaten egg
- 3⁄4 cup nonfat milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄8 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1⁄2 cup honey or 1/2 cup fruit preserves, of your choice
- sifted powdered sugar (optional)
directions
- In a small bowl stir together cream cheese and the 2 tablespoons of preserves. Using a serrated knife, cut a pocket in each bread slice by making a cut in the crust top 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. Coat an unheated nonstick griddle or large skillet with cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat.
- Dip bread slices into egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook bread slices on hot griddle about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once to cook second sides.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan heat the 1/2 cup fruit preserves of your choice (if using) until melted, stirring frequently. If desired, sift with powdered sugar. Serve melted preserves or honey with French toast.

Crafty Lady, what a delightful recipe! I used strawberry jam and fresh strawberries on top. I liked the fact that the cream cheese filling doesn't overpower the french toast. Thank you for posting! Made for Zaarstars Tag, please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most. -
Yummy breakfast! We used strawberry preserves and a whole wheat French bread and dusted with powdered sugar before serving. We all loved it! Thanks, Crafty Lady 13!

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
