Chocolate Stuffed French Toast

Is there be anything better than chocolate for breakfast? Make this dish when you want a completely decadent end to your weekend.

TIME: 25 minutes
SERVINGS: 4

4 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 oz cheese, at room temperature
2 c  sliced strawberries
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp grated orange zest
6 oz Italian bread, cut on the diagonal into 8 slices (1/2" thick)
2 lg eggs
2 lg egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp trans-free margarine

1. Combine the chocolate and cheese in a small bowl and mix well. Combine the strawberries, sugar, and orange zest in a separate bowl.

2. Spread one-fourth of the chocolate mixture on 4 slices of the bread. Top each with a second slice and press lightly to form a sandwich.

3. Combine the whole eggs, egg whites, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Working one a time, dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture and set on a plate.

4. Melt the margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Wait for the foam to subside, then add the sandwiches and cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve hot, topped with the strawberry mixture.
