1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, divided
1/2 c. finely chopped walnuts
1 loaf french bread
4 eggs
1 c. heavy whipping cream

1/2 c. orange juiceRecipe
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 tsp. vanilla until fluffy. Stir in nuts and set aside. Cut bread into 1 and half inch slices, cut a "pocket" in the top of each slice. Fill each pocket with about 2 tbsp. of cream cheese mixture. In another bowl, beat the eggs, cream, nutmeg and remaining vanilla. Dip both sides of bread into the egg mixture, being careful not to squeeze out the filling. Cook on a lightly greased griddle until golden brown on both sides. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, bake at 300* for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine preserves and orange juice in a small saucepan, heat through. Drizzle over hot french toast.
