sorry, i didn't see this earlier! this is something my husband made up and they are so filling.


12 slices of bread (or a loaf of french bread that you slice)

(1/2 package cream) cheese (low-fat, fat free or regular)
1 tablespoon vanilla
2/3 cup ricotta cheese (low-fat, fat free or regular)
1 tablespoon apricot preserves

1 cup chopped strawberries
1 tablespoon brown sugar

3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

the rest of the jar of apricot preserves
1/4 orange juice
2 tablespoons milk

powdered sugar
1 cup strawberries

---
beat together cream cheese and 1 teaspoon vanilla until fluffy. stir in ricotta and apricot preserve.

combine together eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon in a shallow dish.

spread cream cheese mixture evenly over six slices of bread. add chopped strawberries and brown sugar. (you can mix the strawberries and brown sugar in the cream cheese mixture if you want.) top with remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches

dip the filled bread slices in egg mixture, being careful not to squeeze out filling.

cook on both sides until golden brown in a nonstick griddle, about 2 minutes.

while the french toast is cooking, heat the preserves, juice and milk. drizzle over hot french toast. sprinkle with powdered sugar and top off with the additional strawberries.

these taste amazing! no syrup is needed. you can thin out the apricot, orange juice and milk mixture with more orange juice if you want; you can freeze any that is leftover. enjoy!
