Stuffed French Toast

Happy Monday, y'all!!  Didja have a good weekend?

We sure did..it was filled with some Christmas decorating (yes, BEFORE Thanksgiving), hubbies birthday, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Hubbies birthday was yesterday and for Sunday lunch I decided to make him stuffed french toast. I guess it was technically brunch..because we ate early and didn't eat breakfast..or lunch.  So yes, we had brunch.

and we had Stuffed French Toast.

it was divine.

Here's the recipe!!:

Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients:

- 3 oz cream cheese
- 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
- fresh strawberries
-powdered sugar, for sprinkling on top
-1/2 tsp almond extract
-2 eggs
-sliced bread (I used four for two servings..so if you want to make enough for 6 people, you'll need 12 pieces..etc)
-butter
-walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1.  Soften the cream cheese and spread on two pieces of bread.

Of course, you will want to add more so you can get some with every bite. ;)

2.  Spread the strawberry preserves and fresh cut strawberries on two other pieces of bread.

3. Put one of the cream cheese slices and one of the strawberry slices together, like so:

4. Mix the eggs, and 1/2 tsp of almond extract in a bowl.

5. Melt about 2-3 tbs of butter in skillet.

6.  Place the bread in the egg mixture and coat both sides.  After that, place in skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.  The cream cheese should melt on the inside of the bread.

7,  Top with more strawberries, walnuts (if you want to) and syrup.

This was so so yummy. 

You will not be disappointed.

P.S.  You can use any type of fruit for the filling if you want..apricots, blackberries, raspberries...they would all be delicious.

Also,  I made this recipe up so I had to guess a little on the measurements because I didn't measure anything really..but I promise it'll still be delicious!!  ;)

Happy Monday!
