Ingredients

For Vanilla Pear Dip:

1 can (15 ounces) pear halves in extra light syrup

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon butter (optional)

For Maple Peach Dip:

1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in juice, half drained

1/4 cup maple-flavored syrup, regular or reduced calorie

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 tablespoon butter (optional)

For Cinnamon Carrot Dip:

1 can (14.5 ounces) sliced carrots

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter (optional)

For French Toast Fingers:

3 large or extra-large eggs, lightly beaten

3/4 cup low-fat milk

1/4 cup Vanilla Pear, Maple Peach, or Cinnamon Carrot dip

Cooking spray or melted butter

6 slices whole-grain bread, each cut in 5, 1-inch-wide strips

Directions

For any dip: Mix the ingredients (except for the butter, if used) for any of the dips in a small bowl. Put 1/4 – cup dip aside for the French toast.

Heat the remaining dip in a small saucepan or in the microwave oven until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the butter, if using; keep warm.

For the French toast fingers: In a flat, wide bowl mix the eggs, milk and 1/4 cup of one of the dips until smooth.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with cooking spray oil or a small amount of butter. Dip the bread strips in the egg mixture just long enough to coat thoroughly. Cook the strips until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serve 5 French Toast Fingers (a hand) per person with a portion of the warm dip.
