LORILYN'S DEEP FRIED STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Lorilyn's Deep Fried Stuffed French Toast image

A light & fluffy coating on thick slices of Texas Toast, filled with a lightly sweetened cream cheese with a hint of almond flavoring. This is a recipe I created this morning. DH & I were watching the Food Network last night & saw mention of a restaurant that serves deep fried french toast but no recipe or hints on how it was made. It sounded interesting enough to play around with so I browsed my kitchen & made a few notes on what to try this morning. I had Texas Toast & some cream cheese on hand & it occurred to me that I could make a filling to stuff the extra thick slices of bread with. This is the final result. We loved it & I hope you enjoy it too! *Note - I used a deep fryer for this but you could easily do it in a deep sided pan on the stove or a deep sided griddle. We tried these with my blueberry/raspberry syrup from Recipe #22066, with lazyme's Recipe #330075, store-bought orange marmalade and maple syrup.

Time 19m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
10 slices Texas toast thick bread (or other thick sliced bread)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 eggs
oil (for frying)
powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

  • In stand up mixer or in small bowl, combine cream cheese, almond extract and powdered sugar until fluffy.
  • Fit a cake decorating bag with a large tip (star or round) and fill with cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
  • Using a serrated bread knife, slice each piece of Texas Toast into half on the diagonal.
  • Along the newly cut diagonal edge, use the tip of the knife to gently make a one inch slice into the center of the bread, making sure the slice runs parallel to the top and bottom of the bread.
  • Insert the decorator tip into the opening & squeeze out about a teaspoon or so of filling. With a thumb & finger, gently pinch the opening to close it back up & cover the filling. (This could also be done with a ziplock baggie with a corner cut off, although not quite as easily.).
  • In mixer or another medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt.
  • Beat in milk and eggs until batter is smooth. Pour into deep wide bowl or into a pie plate, for dipping.
  • Pre-heat deep fryer or griddle (about 350°) and when ready dip filled slices of bread into batter, turn once and place into fryer basket. (Mine will hold two slices at a time.)
  • Fry 2 minutes or until lightly browned & crispy looking then turn each slice over with a pair of tongs and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until done.
  • Remove with tongs to paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
  • Repeat with the rest of the slices.
  • Serve immediately (careful - filling is hot) with your choice of syrups, jams or jellies.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs
5 ½ teaspoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
8 thick slices (1-inch thick) French bread

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs, sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, followed by the flour; whisk until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture until the egg has penetrated through to the center of the bread. Wipe off the excess egg.

Drain the French toast on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

This article provides a comprehensive guide to preparing delectable deep-fried French toast, a delightful culinary creation that combines crispy exteriors with soft and fluffy interiors.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Bread: Opt for sturdy bread varieties like brioche, challah, or French bread that can withstand the frying process without disintegrating.
  • Achieving the Perfect Custard: Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and spices together until well combined. Ensure the custard is not too thick or too thin for optimal coating.
  • Proper Dipping Technique: Dip the bread slices into the custard mixture, ensuring they are fully coated on both sides. Allow excess custard to drip off before frying to prevent sogginess.
  • Frying the French Toast: Heat a generous amount of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the coated bread slices into the skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides.
  • Draining and Serving: Remove the fried French toast from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings, such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried French toast is an indulgent breakfast or brunch treat that is sure to impress your family and friends. With careful attention to detail and following these tips, you can create this delectable dish that combines the flavors and textures of classic French toast with the crispy delight of deep-frying.
