Health and fertility benefits of Stuffed French Toast

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

Ingredients

1 c. part-skim ricotta cheese
6 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. pecans or walnuts
1/3 c. raisins
1 tsp. vanilla
4 slice challah bread
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tbsp. vegetable oil

Instructions

In medium bowl, stir together ricotta, 3 tablespoons sugar, nuts, raisins, and vanilla until combined.
With small, sharp knife, make a pocket in each piece of bread by cutting a horizontal slit along the bottom edge of piece.
Spoon ricotta filling into pockets, dividing it evenly; press edges of bread together gently to enclose filling.
In large, shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs and milk together. Dip stuffed bread into egg mixture, coating sides completely, absorbing all egg mixture.
In 12-inch skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-low heat. Add stuffed bread and cook 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown all over. Sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and serve hot.
