BAKED STUFFED ORANGE FRENCH TOAST



Baked Stuffed Orange French Toast image

This is one of our favorites... it's great for Christmas morning! It's got all the Christmasy flavors, and it's assembled the night before. You can use any kind of marmalade/jam for the filling. I have used regular and sugar free jams. You can also use light cream cheese, 2% milk in place of the cream, egg beaters in place of the eggs... to lighten it up a bit. Hope it becomes one of your family traditions!

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST II



Stuffed French Toast II image

This is a nice change from ordinary French toast. I make this more than the standard recipe. Although this is my family's favorite version, it is very versatile. You can substitute peanut butter for the cream cheese, use different jams or preserves, different extracts or spices - the options are practically limitless! Serve with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Use a thick, sturdy bread that can hold up to the stuffing and the cooking process. Challah, brioche, and French bread are all good choices.
  • Don't overstuff the French toast: Otherwise, it will be difficult to cook evenly. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of stuffing per slice of bread.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: This will help prevent the bread from burning and allow the stuffing to cook through.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: This is when it is at its best, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Conclusion:

Stuffed French toast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of different ingredients. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, and it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can create a stuffed French toast that everyone will love.
