Time 1h10m

Yield 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 Gala apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 pear, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dozen large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups whole milk
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 day-old (or slightly older) loaf challah bread, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, for cooking
Pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving

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.

I'm not a big fan of French toast, but this recipe was surprisingly good! The apple, pear, and walnut filling added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.

The apple, pear, and walnut filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the French toast itself was delicious. I'll probably try it again with a different filling next time.

I love the idea of adding apples, pears, and walnuts to French toast, but I found that the filling was a bit too chunky for my taste. I think I'll try dicing the fruit smaller next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see why others might enjoy it. The filling was flavorful and the French toast was cooked evenly. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.
