SERVES 4
Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ loaf challah bread, preferably whole wheat
- 1 ¼ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
- ¼ cup nonfat lemon Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
- Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Heat it on the stove over medium-low heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Cut the challah into eight ½-inch-thick slices. Submerge half the slices in the egg mixture, being sure to moisten both sides. Then place soaked slices on the heated skillet and cook until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Spray skillet with cooking spray and repeat with the remaining challah slices.
- To make the filling, mash the blueberries and lemon yogurt together in a small bowl.
- To assemble each stuffed French toast, place 1 piece of French toast on a plate. Spread ¼ cup of the lemon-blueberry mixture over the bread. Top with another piece of French toast, and slice in half. Just before serving, sprinkle the confectioners’ sugar evenly over the stuffed French toast.
