Berry French Toast

This is a super yummy simple breakfast that you might be able to make with what's already in your kitchen.

This recipe is adapted from the October 2010 Family Circle.

1 package (8 oz) reduced- fat cream cheese, softened

2 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp light sour cream

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 C. berries (the recipe called for chopped strawberries, but I used blueberries)

8 slices bread (I used challah because that's really all I use for french toast)

4 eggs

1 C. milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1. Beat together cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and 1/2 tsp vanilla. You could fold your fruit into this topping, or leave it separate, as I did.

2. Mix eggs, milk, 1 tsp vanilla, and spice in a large bowl. Dip bread slices one at a time and fry on hot griddle until browned on both sides.

We spread the topping like butter (it was pretty thick) and sprinkled the blueberries on top, but you can do it however you'd like it. We also used the topping as a spread for pumpkin doughnt muffins later that day.
