This recipe is for two – don’t be silly! No one ever makes breakfast like this for just two people.  Below are the quantities for 40.  Anything in between – figure it out.  Make life easier – do it in a casserole and let it sit overnight.  No frying necessary. See Stuffed French Toast Casserole on the Blog.

Ingredients: 

• 4 slices bread, use french bread sliced 2 inches thick, Texas Toast, or cinnamon swirl bread sliced thick.
• 2 eggs
• 1 c milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 6 Tab cream cheese (6 oz)  (plain or with fruit – strawberry, blueberry, etc.)
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• butter

Toppings:

• cinnamon sugar
• 1/2 c sour cream
• 1/2 c strawberry, cut up
• jam
• syrup

Directions: 

1. Cut each slice of bread in half.
2. Beat eggs with milk and pinch of salt.
3. In separate bowl, mash cheese until smooth with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, adjusting to taste.
4. Spread one-fourth of cheese filling evenly over four half slices of bread.
5. Top with unspread slices of bread to form half-sandwiches.
6. Dip and soak each sandwich in egg-milk mixture, turning so both sides of each sandwich absorb liquid.
7. Let excess drip off.
8. Heat butter in 10 inch skillet, and when hot but not brown, add sandwiches.
9. Reduce heat and fry slowly for 5 to 7 minutes, or until first side is golden.
10. Turn and brown second side over low heat.  If sandwiches fry too quickly, filling will not be warm.
11. Serve immediately, allowing 2 halves to each portion.
12. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and top with sour cream and strawberries.  Or serve with various syrups or jam.
