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:

  • Use a thick, firm bread for the French toast. This will help it hold up to the stuffing and syrup.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help it spread smoothly and evenly.
  • Don't overstuff the French toast. Too much stuffing will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Cook the French toast slowly over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with the apricot syrup. This will help keep it warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Stuffed French toast with apricot syrup is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for special occasions or a lazy weekend morning.
