Unforgettable Stuffed French Toast: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 6

Prep time:10

Ingredients:

• 

  1 Baguette

• 

  5 Eggs

• 

  1 1/4 cup Heavy Cream

• 

  pinch Salt

• 

  2 teaspoons Cinnamon

• 

  1 teaspoons Nutmeg

• 

  2 tablespoons Grand Marnier

• 

  4 oz Cream Cheese

• 

  Orange Marmalade

Step 1:

Beat Eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in bowl. Add Grand Marnier and let sit.

Step 2:

Slice baguette on an angle to create 1-inch thick slices of bread. Cut the bread down the center to create a pocket (like a hot dog bun); do not cut all the way through. Once the bread is cut, spread cream cheese inside the pocket. Then follow with orange marmalade.

Step 3:

Lay the bread on a baking sheet and pour batter over the french toast. Allow to sit about 10 minutes, then turn the french toast to the other side. Cook the french toast in a frying pan until golden brown. Place in the oven on a baking sheet for 15 minutes or so to continue heating all the way through and blending the flavors!

Step 4:

Garnish with powdered sugar and a slice of orange. This recipe is great also with fresh strawberries or with strawberry preserves. We have also served with honey walnut cream cheese and bannanas sliced and rolled in cinnamon and sugar.
