Stuffed French Toast

Stuffed French toast is a decadent breakfast, and it’s very easy to make. The first time I ever heard of stuffed French toast was at the Skillet Café in Las Vegas. Everything on the menu there is good. If you make a trip to Vegas and want some good old fashioned diner food, look up the Skillet Café. The Skillet Café made their stuffed French toast with cream cheese and fruit preserves, but I make mine with cream cheese and dried fruit.

Stuffed French Toast

For each piece of French toast you will need:
2 slices of French bread or Texas toast
1 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp dried cranberries -or- 1 chopped dried apricot and 1 tsp chopped pecans
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk
Butter for sauteeing

Spread the cream cheese on one of the slices of bread, cover with the dried fruit, and or nuts. Use the other piece of bread to make a sandwich. Dip the sandwich in the egg and milk mixture, and then fry it in a hot pan with melted butter. Turn when golden brown, and then brown the other side. Serve with maple syrup.
