A special French toast with cream cheese filling, made with sliced French or Italian bread, eggs, cream cheese, and other ingredients. Serve with maple syrup or fruit topping.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 long loaf French or Italian bread, about 8 to 10 ounces
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon Canola oil

PREPARATION:

Cut bread on the diagonal into about 16 slices. Spread cream cheese on 8 slices of the bread, on one side only. Sprinkle pecans over slices with the cream cheese spread. Top each spread slice with a plain slice of bread. You will have 8 "sandwiches." Beat eggs and milk in a shallow bowl until smooth. Add sandwiches to the mixture, turning several times to coat thoroughly.

Heat butter and in a heavy skillet over medium heat. When butter stops foaming, add all of the sandwiches in a single layer. Fry for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Serve with maple syrup or other fruit topping.
Serves 4.
