Raspberry Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz.) package light cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp raspberry jam
2 cups raspberries
8 slices of bread (or more, we had lots of filling left over)
3 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp milk
Directions:
Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and jam in a bowl. Stir until combined. Spread cream cheese mixture on one side of each piece of bread. On four pieces, cover the cream cheese with raspberry pieces (break the berries apart so you have a single layer of raspberries). You won't use all the berries, there should be lots left for topping. Pair a piece with raspberries with a piece without raspberries and make a sandwich. Do this so you have four sandwiches.
Have the oven on with a little heat and a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to keep sandwiches warm while you finish preparing the rest.
Combine milk and egg in a shallow bowl. Soak both sides of each sandwich in egg then cook in a frying pan over medium heat. Brown both sides then set the sandwich in the oven to stay warm. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve topped with remaining berries and syrup if desired.
Hi! I'm a new follower. I love French toast and this version looks so good! I bet it'd be good with pumpkin instead of raspberries too.
