Easy Pain Purdue (New Orleans Style French Toast)

Ingredients:
Serves 8

Stuffing Mixture

• 1/2 c. Fat Free Cream Cheese
• 1/2 c. + 2 T. Strawberry or Apricot Simply Fruit Spread
• 8 ~ 1 inch slices French Bread

Dipping Mixture

•  1/2 c. Great Value Egg Whites
• 1 Whole Egg , slightly beaten
• 3/4 c. Fat Free Milk
• 1/2 t. Vanilla
• 1/8 t. Cinnamon
• Great Value Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Directions:

•  In small bowl, combine cream cheese and 2 tablespoons spreadable fruit. 
• Using serrated knife, form pocket in each bread slice by making a horizontal cut halfway between top and bottom crust, slicing not quite all the way through. 
• Fill each pocket with about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
•  In small bowl, combine egg whites, egg, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. 
• Lightly coat nonstick griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.
• Dip stuffed bread slices into egg mixture, coating both sides. 
• Place bread slices on hot griddle and cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
•  Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, heat 1/2 cup spreadable fruit until melted, about 30 seconds. 
• Serve over French toast.
• If you do not want to cook up all 8 servings you can place the extra stuffed French Toast slices in a zip plastic bag and store for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. 
• Also if you know you are not going to use all 8 servings at one time, for the dipping mixture just use 1/4 c. Great Value Egg Whites,1/8 c. Fat-Free Milk, 1/4 t. vanilla and just a pinch of cinnamon. 

This is absolutely yummy!

Enjoy ❤
