APPLE, PEAR AND WALNUT STUFFED FRENCH TOAST
Steps:
- For the fruit-nut mixture: Mix the butter with the apples, pears, walnuts and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Refrigerate to chill briefly.
- For the French toast: Meanwhile, in a large flat dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla.
- Make a deep slice from the side into the center of each bread slice to form a pocket. Stuff a couple spoonfuls of the fruit-nut mixture into each piece (reserve any leftover fruit-nut mixture for serving). Dip the stuffed bread in the egg mixture to moisten on both sides (but not so much that the bread falls apart).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. In batches, add the stuffed bread and cook until golden brown, flipping gently, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Continue cooking the remaining bread, adding additional butter as needed.
- Put the extra fruit-nut mixture in the skillet and cook a few minutes over medium heat, just to soften the fruit. Spoon over the French toast and serve with warm maple syrup.
BRIE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST
Steps:
- In a medium-hot pan, melt 2 ounces of butter. After butter melts, but before starting to brown, add walnuts. Reduce heat to medium and lightly cook walnuts until you begin to smell aroma of toasted nuts. Add bananas to walnuts. Cook approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until bananas begin to caramelize. Remove pan from heat (very important, do not add liqueur to pan while still on burner), add banana liqueur and return to heat. If pan is hot enough, let most of the liquid evaporate until removing from heat. Add maple syrup and set aside in serving container. Combine half-and-half, cinnamon, vanilla, eggs, sugar, pinch of salt in shallow bowl. Stir vigorously to combine cinnamon with mixture. Dip challah bread into egg mixture, make sure that bread soaks up liquid.
- Heat pan to medium. Melt tablespoon of butter. After butter has melted and before it begins to brown, add 2 slices to pan. Gently lay bread into butter. After approximately 30 to 45 seconds, turn over 1 slice, place brie on cooked side of challah. Place other piece of challah bread on top of brie (uncooked side still facing up). Add more butter if necessary. Cook another minute, turn over, cook 1 more minute. Continue with the remaining bread and cheese in the same manner.
- Place on a plate, spoon your syrup mixture on top and enjoy.

Tips:
- Use a thick, firm bread for the French toast, such as brioche or challah. This will help it hold up to the toppings and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- To make sure the French toast is cooked evenly, cook it in a single layer in a non-stick skillet.
- If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the French toast in a large skillet or even a baking sheet.
- For a crispy crust, cook the French toast over medium-high heat.
- If you prefer a softer crust, cook the French toast over medium heat.
- Be careful not to overcook the French toast, as it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
French toast with pears, brie, and cinnamon is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
