STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH FRUIT & CREAM CHEESE (BAKED)
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 :)

BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH FRUIT
Recipe from Penzey's Spices catalog. Yummy! --Overnight soaking of the bread is what causes the dish to puff up and be very creamy when baked. If you don't have overnight, at least let it soak a few hours.

BACON-CRUSTED FRUIT-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST
This tastes like a strawberry croissant. It's crunchy, sweet, and a little salty. I never really cared for French toast until I started playing around and invented this. Serve with your favorite syrup.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, slice your strawberries and set aside.
- 2. Mix your filling in a medium bowl. Mix the cream cheese, butter, and confectioners sugar. Add lemon juice and mix well. Add cream, vanilla, and mix well again. Fold in strawberries and set aside. (reserve some for topping on the side)
- 3. In a shallow dish mix your egg wash. Add all ingredients for the wash, whisk well, and set aside.
- 4. Heat your pan with oil on medium heat. Dip bread in egg wash both sides, and put in pan. Fry to a golden brown. Be sure to keep checking it so it does not burn.
- 5. When finished cooking, take 1 slice put on the plate and place about a tablespoon of the filling in the middle of the bread. Place another slice on top of the filling like a sandwich.
- 6. Here's the fun part... you can top these beauties with sifted confectioners sugar, more fresh fruit, whipped cream, nuts, a drizzle of organic pure maple syrup, etc. Get creative, the sky is the limit! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use stale bread. Stale bread will absorb more of the egg mixture and result in a more flavorful and substantial French toast.
- Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly. This will help to ensure that the eggs are evenly distributed and that the French toast cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cooking the French toast in batches will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the French toast from burning.
- Flip the French toast only once. Flipping the French toast too often will break it up.
- Serve the French toast immediately. French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
