Fruit Stuffed French Toast image

I could just eat the filling for this stuffed French toast recipe by the spoonful. It has just the right amount of sweetness and the lemon juice is perfect to add a slight tartness. This is an impressive French toast recipe to serve at a special occasion or brunch. I used strawberries this time, but can't wait to try it with...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 slice cinnamon swirl bread
1 Tbsp oil of your choice, I used olive oil
EGG WASH
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon (I used fresh grated)
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
3 Tbsp cream
FILLING
1-1/2 c fresh strawberries, sliced
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 c powdered sugar
1/2 c cream
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

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!
