I'd heard about stuffed french toast a long time ago, but I'd never found a bread that I thought would work so I kinda forgot about it. Then a few weeks ago I was in the grocery store and I found a really nice, plump, soft fresh-baked french bread. I brought one home and made toast and sandwiches, which were great, but once I'd tasted this bread I knew I'd found the bread I'd been looking for. So I went back to the grocery store the next day and got two more loaves and set to work.
I've made regular french toast lots of times so the question was what to use as a filling. I wanted something sweet and creamy so I decided to combine the organic strawberry preserves I always keep on hand with some cream cheese. It was a perfect combination. Everybody at home went nuts for it and we ended up overeating a bit! It's very rich so I don't do it often, but when I do, it's a major hit at my house and I'm sure it will be at yours too. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 eggs
half and half
Vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon
Strawberry preserves
Cream cheese spread
French bread
Procedure:
Mix the half and half with the eggs.
Add cinnamon.
Mix well.
Cut the bread in thick slices.
Make an incision in those slices.
Fill the incision with preserves.
Then fill with the cream cheese spread.
Heat a pan to medium heat with butter.
Dredge the slices in the mix and place them in the pan.
Once they're golden brown on both sides they're ready to serve.
They're delicious on their own.
But I like them even better with sausages and banana slices. Enjoy!
