INGREDIENTS

• 3 tablespoons sugar-free raspberry or strawberry spreadable fruit
• 2 cups sliced strawberries
• 1 large egg1 large egg white
• 2/3 cup low-fat (1 percent) milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
• 8 slices thin whole-wheat bread

Preheat the oven to 200°F. Place a serving platter in the oven to hold the French toast.

Place the fruit spread in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Stir in the strawberries. Set aside. In a pie plate or shallow bowl, beat the egg, egg white, milk, vanilla extract, and nutmeg with a fork until blended. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip a bread slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak briefly on both sides. Place the soaked slice in the skillet; add 1 or 2 more soaked slices. Cook, turning once, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes per side.

Place the cooked French toast in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter as needed. Serve the French toast hot with the strawberry mixture on top.
