Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 8 slices bread I used whole wheat
- 4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese softened
- 2 apples thinly sliced, peeling optional
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon sugar mixture or mix a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup caramel syrup
- Powdered sugar for decorating optional
- Maple syrup for serving optional
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla and sugar until well combined.
- For each piece of French toast, spread one side of a slice of bread with about an ounce of cream cheese.
- Place about 1/4 - 1/3 of a sliced apple in the middle of the patch of cream cheese leaving about 3/4 inch uncovered on the sides for sealing. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Top with a second slice of bread and press around edges to seal.
- Dip in egg batter, then fry on both sides in large frying pan sprayed with nonstick spray, about 5 minutes per side.
- Repeat with remaining bread.
- Slice finished French toast on a diagonal. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and drizzle with about 2 Tablespoons of caramel per piece. Serve with remaining apple slices and maple syrup.
