Low Gi Berry Stuffed French Toast

---

A saturday morning breakfast with a cup of green tea, and the sun shinning through the windows! this recipe makes a berry sandwich with the french toast, but i find i don't need that much bread, so i usually top a larger slice of rye bread with the warm berry mixture. Either way, a wonderful breakfast.
