This stuffed french toast is a wonderful treat for guests and family. If filling the bread becomes too difficult use one-inch slices, prepare the french toast and sandwich around the filling. Either way, it’s great.

ingredients

4 Two-inch thick slices of Challah Bread
Butter (as needed)
Batter-
3 Eggs
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Filling-
1 1/2 Cups Cream Cheese (Softened)
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Favorite diced Fruit (Bananas, Strawberries, or even Chocolate Chips)

directions

1
In a shallow baking dish whisk all of the ingredients for the batter together until well blended.
2
Cream the sugar and cream cheese together in a bowl and then fold in the diced fruit. Spoon into a large zip-top bag and cut the bottom corner so that the fruit will not clog the opening.
3
Cut a slit into the bread slices to allow for filling. Insert the open corner of the bag into the slit and pipe in the cream cheese mixture.
4
Heat a large saute pan and then add some butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes.
5
Serve with ice cream for a great morning treat.
