Time 45m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup sliced almonds
1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries - thawed, drained, and juice reserved
water as needed
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
3 eggs, beaten
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 loaf Italian bread
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Cook and stir almonds in a skillet over medium high heat until fragrant and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add enough water to reserved strawberry liquid to equal 1 cup liquid.
  • Stir 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch together in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually stir strawberry liquid into sugar mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is clear and thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir strawberries and almonds into sugar mixture.
  • Beat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
  • Slice bread at 1 1/2-inch intervals about 3/4 of the way through. Cut a slit in the center of each slice to form a pocket, and fill each pocket with 1 rounded tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Separate slices from loaf by cutting each slice the rest of the way through the loaf.
  • Dip bread slices in egg mixture to coat completely.
  • Melt butter on a griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook bread slices on preheated griddle until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Serve French toast with strawberry-almond mixture.

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST



Classic French Toast image

There are just a few keys to making great French toast: Use stale bread (fresh tends to fall apart), make sure the bread is sliced at least 3/4-inch thick (it helps maximize soaking for a custardy interior) and watch your soaking time (a shorter time equals a slightly drier toast, a longer time yields a more custardy one).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices Texas Toast or other 3/4-inch-sliced white bread
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons butter
Confectioners' sugar, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lay the bread slices in one layer (it's OK if they overlap a little) on a baking sheet. Bake the slices (to dry them out a little) for 6 minutes, then flip and bake for 6 minutes more. Set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a large casserole dish.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low to medium heat. Place 2 slices of bread in the egg mixture. Let the bread completely soak in the egg mixture on both sides, about 30 seconds to 1 minute total, checking after 15 seconds. (Bread should feel heavy and soaked through but hold its shape without breaking apart.) Melt a tablespoon of butter in the skillet and add the 2 soaked slices; cook until the outside is golden brown and crisp and the inside is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. You will need to watch and adjust the temperature between medium and medium-low if the bread is browning too quickly or not browning fast enough. Keep finished French toast slices warm on a rack nested in a rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  • Serve with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and drizzle of maple syrup.

cooking spray
1 loaf day-old Italian bread
