Crunchy Stuffed French Toast

• 6 slices Multi Grain Bread
• 3 Tablespoons Light Cream Cheese
• 3 Tablespoons Apricot Preserves Or Jam (or Any Flavor You Have On Hand)
• 1 whole Egg
• 3 whole Egg Whites
• 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 cups Bran Flakes (crushed)
• 1 Tablespoon Butter

1. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
2. Lay out the bread and spread three slices with the cream cheese and spread the other three slices with the preserves/jam. Combine one of each to make three sandwiches.
3. In a shallow dish or pie plate mix the egg, egg whites, zest, juice, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
4. Fill another shallow dish or pie plate with the crushed bran flakes.
5. Dredge sandwiches in the egg mixture first, then in the bran flakes.
6. Melt butter over the surface of the grill pan or skillet and add sandwiches. Flip the sandwiches once the egg mixture has cooked (about 3 minutes) and the cereal has toasted. Cook on opposite side until egg mixture is cooked and cereal has toasted on each side (about 3 minutes).
