"Kicked Up" French Toast
Source of Recipe
Emeral Legasse
List of Ingredients
8 slices stale cinnamon-raisin bread*
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Powdered sugar, as topping
Maple or Cane Syrup, as desired
Recipe
Lay the bread on a flat work surface. Spread 4 slices with a heaping
tablespoon of cream cheese, and top each with the remaining slices of bread.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and
cinnamon. Place the bread flat in a casserole dish and cover with the egg
mixture. Let soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
*(NOTE: If using fresh bread, do not soak longer than 5 minutes, as the
bread
will get too soggy.)
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter
in the pan. Add as many slices of soaked bread to the pan as will fit in 1
layer, and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from
the
pan, place on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Melt the remaining 1
tablespoon of butter in the pan and cook the remaining bread.
