Cheesecake-Stuffed French Toast

1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1-2 packets stevia
1/4 cup liquid egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
4 slices light whole-wheat bread

optional topping: 1 cup berries of choice (strawberries used for picture)

Stir together ricotta cheese, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth. Spread bread slices with mixture and top with remaining slices, as with a sandwich. Mix together egg whites and milk. Spray a pan with nonstick cooking spray over medium to medium-high heat. Dip ricotta sandwiches in egg mixture. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes in all. Remove onto plate and garnish with berries.
