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.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Stuffed French Toast image

Level-up your french toast game with this velvety, rich, cream cheese filled French toast.

Provided by Kristin Stangl

Categories     Brunch     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 1-inch slices Brioche or Challah bread, preferably day-old
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk, divided
3 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extra, divided
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom (optional)
1 tablespoons butter, for the pan
Optional Garnishes: fresh berries or peaches, powdered sugar, maple syrup, additional butter

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Create a cavity for the filling in each piece of bread by laying one bread slice down on the cutting board and, using a butter knife or a paring knife, cut a horizontal slit into the bottom of the slice to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the top (and out the other side). Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
  • In a medium bowl, stir or whisk together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Taste and add more sugar if desired.
  • Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a zip-close bag with the corner snipped or a reusable piping bag. Insert the tip of the bag into one of the slits in a slice of bread. Fill the bread with the cream cheese mixture the way you would fill a donut. Use a butter knife or small offset spatula to evenly distribute cream cheese inside and clean off the edge, as needed. Eyeball so that there is enough for each of the slices; repeat with remaining slices. Set aside.
  • Break the eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk. Whisk in the remaining milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the cinnamon or cardamom, if using, into the custard.
  • Coat a non-stick skillet or griddle with a thin layer of some of the butter. Place it over medium-low heat until the butter begins to foam and sizzle.
  • Place the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl or plate. Let the bread soak up the egg mixture for a few seconds and then carefully turn to coat the other side. Place soaked bread slices directly into the waiting pan. (Depending on the size of the pan and your slices, you may have to work in batches, so coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at a time to prevent soggy French toast.)
  • Heat custard-dipped slices in the pan slowly until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Transfer finished slices to a plate; repeat with remaining slices of French toast, adding more butter to the pan as needed, until all slices are cooked. Serve with toppings of your choice.

HOT BROWN-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Hot Brown-Stuffed French Toast image

This savory spin on baked French toast has all the components of a Kentucky hot brown--tender turkey, juicy tomato, thick slices of white bread, meaty bacon and a generous drizzle of mornay sauce that's broiled until golden. The savory custard base not only keeps the bread moist (no one likes a dry sandwich), but also adds another layer of flavor. We used a combination of grated pecorino and shredded sharp Cheddar for the mornay sauce; the pecorino is a classic addition to the hot brown, while the Cheddar adds creaminess and browning. Top with more pecorino, fresh parsley and a pinch of paprika, and you'll have hot browns for a crowd!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan and foil
2 cups half-and-half
4 large eggs
1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino (about 1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 thick slices bakery-style white bread
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
2 medium Roma tomatoes, cut thinly into 14 slices
14 thin slices cracked pepper turkey (about 8 ounces)
8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Paprika, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 2 tablespoons of the pecorino, 1/4 teaspoon of the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Lay 7 slices of bread on a cutting board. Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon shredded Cheddar on top of each slice. Top each with 2 slices of tomato, then 2 slices of turkey, folding the turkey as needed to fit. Place the remaining 7 slices bread on top to form 7 sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Dip both sides of each sandwich half into the custard mixture and transfer to the prepared baking pan, arranging in 2 long shingled rows. Pour any remaining custard over the sandwiches.
  • Spray a large piece of foil with nonstick spray. Place the foil sprayed-side down on top of the baking pan, crimping the sides of the foil around the pan to seal. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly, about 10 minutes more. Remove the baking pan and switch the oven to broil.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon to a large nonstick skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and almost completely rendered, 8 to 12 minutes (it will cook the rest of the way and crisp up under the broiler). Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Next, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until bubbling and no longer raw, 1 to 2 minutes. While continually whisking, slowly pour in the milk. Cook, whisking continuously, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining Cheddar (about 1 cup), 2 tablespoons pecorino, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and whisk until combined. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • When the French toast is baked, pour the cheese sauce over it, making sure the bread is evenly coated, then sprinkle with the chopped bacon. Broil until bubbling at the edges and light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley, paprika and another couple pinches of pecorino.
