Honey Vanilla Creme Stuffed French Toast

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 7 mins

Servings: 6

2/3 cup lowfat ricotta cheese
1/3 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves
12 slices (about 3/4-inch-thick) firm, day-old French bread
2 large eggs
1/3 cup 1% lowfat milk
1/3 cup Honey Vanilla Crème Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid
    Coffee Creamer
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Maple syrup, heated (optional)

COMBINE ricotta cheese and preserves in small bowl; mix well. Spread mixture evenly over 6 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.

BEAT eggs in shallow pan or pie plate; whisk in milk, Coffee-mate and vanilla extract. Whisk in flour and salt.

HEAT large skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Swirl butter into hot skillet. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook on each side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with maple syrup.

Cook’s Tip: Parisian Almond Crème fans, you can substitute Coffee-mate for the milk in this recipe! Just use ½ cup total of the Coffee-mate.
