Stuffed French Toast Recipe
Directions
FILLING:
  • Mix the cream cheese with brown sugar, white sugar, raisins, cinnamon, almond extract and apple pie filling until completely combined.

TOAST:
  • Cut the loaf of bread into 6-8 one inch thick slices.
  • Slice down the center of each slice to approximately 1/4 inch to the end. Do not cut all the way through the bread. This will create a pocket for the filling.
  • Fill each pocket with cream cheese mixture, approximately 1/4 cup. It is alright if it leaks out the edges a little.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together the milk, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon until well blended.
  • Dip each filled bread slice in the egg mixture, coating both sides.
  • Place on a hot griddle, cook 3-5 minutes on 1 side until nicely browned and then turn and grill the second side.
  • Keep warm in the oven.

SYRUP:
  • In a small sauce pan, heat together the maple syrup, honey and butter.
  • Serve over the warm french toast.
