Ingredients
Ingredients
fresh mixed berries
2 cups (about 1/2 lb (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries))
powdered sugar
2 tablespoons (for sweetening berries)
fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup
low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 (6 ounce) container
French bread
10 ounces ((1 small loaf, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces))
egg
1
egg white
1
low-fat milk
1/3 cup
granulated sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
nonstick cooking spray
as needed (for greasing the skillet)
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine the fresh mixed berries and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly.
2
In a blender or food processor, combine about a quarter of the sweetened berries, fat-free sweetened condensed milk, and low-fat vanilla yogurt. Blend until smooth to create the yogurt sauce. Set this aside.
3
Prepare the French bread by cutting it into twelve pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches thick. Carefully slice into each piece almost all the way through to create a pocket for stuffing. Stuff the bread slices with the remaining sweetened mixed berries, pressing lightly to close them.
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, low-fat milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
5
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
6
Carefully dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Place the coated bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Turn gently to avoid spilling the filling.
7
To serve, spoon the creamy yogurt sauce onto each plate and artfully arrange the warm French toast on top. Garnish with any reserved berries for a pop of color and freshness.
