STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Strawberries and Cream Stuffed French Toast image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Kosher salt
Four 1-inch-thick slices Orange Juice Challah, recipe follows
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sweetened condensed milk, for serving
Fresh sliced strawberries, for serving
6 cups (780g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon (1 packet) instant yeast
Zest of 1 orange
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (236ml) warm water
1/2 cup (118ml) orange juice, from about 2 oranges
2/3 cup (132g) flavorless oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the jam and a pinch of salt and continue to beat until thoroughly combined. Using a paring knife, make a slit in each bread slice about 2 to 3 inches long and deep; this pocket will hold the filling. Using an offset spatula, divide and stuff the filling equally into the pockets, making sure it's not a big lump. Set aside.
  • In a shallow dish, add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix with a fork until combined. Dip the challah into the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let sit and soak while you heat your butter.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, add the butter and heat over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the challah, allowing any excess egg mixture to drip off, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Place the French toast on a serving dish. Serve with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and garnished with strawberries.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, orange zest and salt and whisk together. In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, orange juice, oil and 2 of the eggs.
  • Add the wet to the flour mixture; stir to combine. Knead, either by hand on a floured surface or with a dough hook on medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary (but resist any urge to add too much!), until you have a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours. (Alternatively, chill the dough in the refrigerator overnight, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before shaping.)
  • Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Divide each into 3 logs and braid. Place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart. Cover loosely and let rise 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the loaves with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until they are golden and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F; begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly and enjoy. (Challah is best eaten within 24 hours. After that it's ok if you toast it or use it for French toast. It also freezes well!)

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.

Provided by Tinkerbell

Categories     Breakfast

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.
