A Surprise-Inside French Toast Recipe
A fibrous fruit, such as 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, goes well with stuffed French toast with a creamy interior. Note: Because of the cheeses, this French toast is heavy in salt. If you can find no-salt cheeses, use them to make a lower-sodium recipe. You can also use orange, almond, or strawberry extract instead of vanilla. The American Diabetes Association provided this recipe from The WEBB Cooks, a collection of articles and recipes by Robin Webb.
