Ingredients:

12 Diagonally (1-ounce) cut slices French bread
1/4 cup Sifted powdered sugar
1 Tub (8-ounce) reduced-fat cream cheese
2 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/3 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
4 Egg whites
2 Eggs
Vegetable cooking spray
Strawberry Sauce
Candied Lemon Rind

Instructions:

Strawberry Sauce

4 cups sliced strawberries
1/3 cup honey 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Candied Lemon Rind

1 large lemon
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 tablespoon water

Directions: Cut a horizontal slit through bottom crust of each slice
of bread to form a pocket. Combine powdered sugar and cream cheese;
stir well. Spread mixture evenly into pockets of bread. Place 6 bread
slices in each of two large, shallow baking dishes; set aside.

Combine milk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg whites, and eggs in a bowl;
beat well with a wire whisk. Pour milk mixture evenly over bread
slices. Cover and chill 1 hour or until liquid is absorbed.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over
medium heat until hot. Arrange half of bread slices in skillet, and
cook 3 minutes. Turn bread over, and cook 3 minutes or until browned;
remove from skillet. Repeat procedure with the remaining bread slices.

Serve with Strawberry Sauce, and garnish with Candied Lemon Rind.

Directions for Strawberry Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a bowl;
stir well. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Yield: 3 cups (serving size:
1/2 cup).

Directions for Candied Lemon Rind: Using a vegetable peeler, carefully
remove rind from lemon. Cut rind into 1/8-inch-thick strips; set
aside.

Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and water in a 2-cup glass measure.
Microwave at HIGH 1 minute; stir in rind strips. Microwave at HIGH 2
minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Add remaining 2 tablespoons
sugar, and toss well. Spread rind in a single layer on wax paper; let
stand at room temperature until dry. Store in an airtight container.
