Wake Me Up Treats

 

 

Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

1 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
4 T sugar
4 - 1" thick slices of French bread
1 cup low fat milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. baking powder
4 egg whites
2 eggs
3 tsp. butter

Fresh Strawberries
Strawberry Syrup

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 400°F.

Mix together the 1 cup of strawberries, the lemon juice and zest and 2 T sugar. Set aside.

Cut bread slices in half and cut a slit in each slice to form a pocket. Stuff with strawberries, secure with toothpicks. Place slices in a 13" X 9" greased or buttered baking dish.

In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, vanilla, baking powder and eggs. Mix well. Pour over stuffed bread, turning to coat. Chill for 30-60 minutes, turning bread pieces occasionally.

Grease another 13" X 9" inch baking pan. Move bread pieces to this second pan and bake for 3-6 minutes on each side. Serve warm with syrup and additional strawberries.

Serves 4.
