Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices 100% whole wheat bread
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tsp strawberry perserves
  • 2/3 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 egg whites, slightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups wheat flakes cereal
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp butter or margarine
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Method
 

  1.  Spread 4 of the bread slices with cream cheese. Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with preserves. Top preserves with strawberries. Combine to make 4 sandwiches.
  2. In shallow bowl whisk together eggs, egg whites and vanilla. Place crushed wheat flakes cereal on piece of wax paper. Dip both sides of each sandwich in egg mixture. Coat with cereal, gently pressing crumbs into bread.
  3.  In 12-inch nonstick skillet or on nonstick griddle, heat oil and butter over medium heat until butter melts. Add sandwiches. Cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden, turning once. (If necessary, cook 2 sandwiches at a time.) Diagonally cut each sandwich in half. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
