I love french toast. Like, a lot. The other day an IHOP commercial got me craving some french toast and so I decided to make some. It may or may not have been my dinner. Anyway, here is the recipe I used utilizing stuff I had laying around the house.
You'll need:
1 8oz. package softened cream cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon honey
1 loaf of soft french bread
4 beaten eggs
1 cup of milk
1 jar strawberry preserves
Beat cream cheese, honey, and vanilla until creamy. Cut the bread into 1 1/2 inch thick slices and make a slit in each slice creating a pocket. Fill with about 1-2 tablespoons (as much as you can fit!) of the cream cheese mixture. Mix eggs and milk together in a small bowl and dip the pieces of bread in the mixture before frying both sides in a pan over medium heat. Top with preserves before indulging :)
