Raspberry and Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast image

I am a firm believer that if a dish has fruit in it then it must be good for you! Well, this delicious breakfast treat is good for your soul and spirits, if nothing else. It is a snap to prepare and so decadently delicious. We had to do some hunting before we found a bakery that carried challah bread, but it was time well...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese softened
12 (3/4 inch thick) slices day old brioche challah or hawaiian bread
1 c fresh raspberries *
3 eggs (beaten)
3/4 c half-and-half, light cream, or milk
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 dash(es) of salt
pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • 1. Spread cream cheese evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
  • 2. Top half of slices of the slices with raspberries. Top with remaining bread slices - cream cheese sides down - to make "sandwiches".
  • 3. Combine beaten eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, and salt in shallow bowl. (For added taste, you might want to add a few drops of Grand Marnier)
  • 4. Dip each sandwich in egg mixture, turning carefully to coat both sides,. Place sandwiches in greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake in 425 degree oven 15 minutes or until golden brown, turning once after 10 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired. NOTE: If desired, you can substitute frozen raspberries. Thaw and drain; reserve juice for another use.
