List of Ingredients

4 thick slices day old French or Italian bread on diagonal (Texas toast will do )
2 tbl blueberry jam
2 lrg eggs beaten lightly
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbl granulated sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 tbl unsalted butter
  Confectioner's sugar for sifting over toast
  Syrup as an accompaniment



Recipe

* Cut through the bread slices horizontally to within 1/4" of the crust, forming a pocket. In each pocket spread 1/2 Tbsp. of the jam, and press the pockets closed.

* In a shallow bowl or pie plate large enough to hold the bread in one layer, whisk together the eggs, the milk, the cream, the granulated sugar, the vanilla, the cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add the filled bread, and let it soak, chilled, turning it once, for 25 minutes, or until it absorbs the egg mixture.

* In a heavy skillet heat the butter over moderate heat until the foam subsides and in it cook the soaked bread, turning it occasionally with a spatula, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.

* Transfer the toast with the spatula to heated plates, sift the confectioner's sugar over it and serve with syrup.
