Source of Recipe


Old Store Café & Deli (Dale, Wisconsin)






List of Ingredients



• 8 eggs
  
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  
• 1 tsp vanilla
  
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 12 slices dry white bread
  
• One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  
• 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
  
• 2 Tbsp butter, margarine, or cooking oil
  
• Granulated or powdered sugar (optional)
  
• Maple syrup (optional)
  






Instructions



1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
   
   
2. Spread each slice of bread with some cream cheese. Top 6 of the slices with cherry pie filling, spreading almost to the edges. Cover each with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down. Dip in the egg mixture.
   
   
3. In a skillet or on a griddle, cook the sandwiches in hot butter over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Cut filled French toast into halves or quarters and dip in or sprinkle with sugar, if you like. Serve with hot maple syrup, if you like.
