Ingredients

3 eggs
1 1/4 cups nonfat milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
8 slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
1 (8-ounce) container strawberries, hulled and sliced
4 teaspoons bittersweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Set aside.

Place 1 tablespoon of ricotta in the center of 4 of the pieces of bread and spread around slightly. Top with about 6 slices of strawberries and a teaspoon of chocolate chips. Cover each with another piece of bread to make a "sandwich".

Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and preheat. Carefully dip each of the "sandwiches" into the egg mixture until completely moistened. Then place on the skillet and cook over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the outside is golden brown and the center is warm and chocolate is melted.

Transfer to serving places. Top with remaining strawberries and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Awesome!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't make this for breakfast, but a Saturday night dinner instead with bacon on the side. Excellent! A lot of her... recipes look really good and this is the first time I've tried one of hers. I read some of the other reviews and switched to mini semi-sweet chocolate pieces and used a batter recipe from Betty Crocker which was very similar to hers (3 eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1 tbls. sugar (could substitute Splenda), 1/4 tsp. salt and added a little vanilla). Didn't find it too sweet at all. The strawberries and ricotta aren't sweet, so the semi-sweet chocolate and the little bit of sugar in the batter evened it out. I had no problem with it being soggy. She said until moistened, not soaked. Picky teenage son ate two of the sandwiches and I didn't tell him there was ricotta cheese in it as he doesn't care for cheesecake which quite often contains ricotta. Will definitely make again! I do wish people submitting reviews would take a moment to read over their reviews for spelling, punctuation and that it makes sense before submitting. But that's just the executive assistant in me coming out I guess.Read more

Pretty good for low fat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was pretty good.I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect...Honestly though, even though I LOVE chocolate,... I will probably not put chocolate morsels in next time, and mix some low fat cream cheese with the ricotta. I'm also thinking if I do want some chocolate-ness, I'll probably try some nutella. But the great thing is, you can play around with the recipe and it is very easy to make.Read more

Easy to Modify
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Unfortunately, I didn't have most of the ingredients called for, namely ricotta and strawberries this morning. So I... improvised! I had frozen blueberries and thought white chocolate would taste better with them, so I paired the two up, also I used fat free cream cheese because that was in my fridge. Everything went perfectly together! My boyf said forget IHOP, I have you. I know this isn't the exact recipe but it is so easy to work with and change up whenever you want to try something different and for that fact, as well as the low calorie aspect, I give this recipe five stars. As for the calories, I used oatnut bread, which was 110 per slice, and 1/2 Tbsp of pure maple syrup as topping, which was 25 per serving and I ended with a grand total of 358 calories per serving. A bit more than what she predicted for her combination, but none the less AMAZING for a serving of stuffed french toast. Ellie, I am your devote follower!Read more

We loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my husband on Valentine's Day and it was perfect. My version probably wasn't as healthy since I used brioche... bread and nutella instead of the chocolate chips...but it was worth it! Next time I'll try it with whole wheat bread.Read more
