Honey Vanilla Crème Stuffed French Toast - Recipe!

Honey Vanilla Crème Stuffed French Toast is an elegant twist on the classic recipe.

Yield: 6

Ingredients:

2/3 cup lowfat ricotta cheese

1/3 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves

12 slices (about 3/4-inch-thick) firm, day-old French bread

2 large eggs

1/3 cup 1% lowfat milk

1/3 cup Honey Vanilla Crème Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Maple syrup, heated (optional)

Instructions:

COMBINE ricotta cheese and preserves in small bowl; mix well. Spread mixture evenly over 6 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.

BEAT eggs in shallow pan or pie plate; whisk in milk, Coffee-mate and vanilla extract. Whisk in flour and salt.

HEAT large skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Swirl butter into hot skillet. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook on each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with maple syrup.

Cook’s Tip: Parisian Almond Crème fans, you can substitute Coffee-mate for the milk in this recipe! Just use ½ cup total of the Coffee-mate.
