Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup fruit jam (such as sour cherry)
1/4 cup slivered almonds, plus more for garnish
1 loaf challah bread
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat a cast-iron griddle or skillet over low heat. Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Combine the cream cheese, jam and almonds in a bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
  • Slice the challah into 2-inch-thick slices. With a paring knife, make a 1/2-inch horizontal slit in the bottom crust of each slice to form a deep pocket. Using a butter knife, fill each slice with some of the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar and almond extract in a baking dish. Dip the stuffed challah slices in the egg mixture to fully coat, about 30 seconds per side.
  • Increase the griddle heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt, then add the stuffed challah to the griddle. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Garnish with almonds and serve with maple syrup.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH FRUIT & CREAM CHEESE (BAKED)



Stuffed French Toast With Fruit & Cream Cheese (Baked) image

Came up with this as a quick and filling breakfast while I was pregnant. The whole family loves it. I've found the leftovers are a little better because the flavors have a chance to blend more. It looks like a lot but it's actually quick & easy to put together. Please follow the steps for mixing ingredients as they're listed... This prevents the "floating" of the dry ingredients and makes for a smooth & blended caramel colored egg mix. Also, I always spread the cream cheese & pie filling over the bread slices rather than pouring it on top so they end up as "sandwiches". We dish them out as sandwiches but have to eat with forks :)

  • Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
