Ingredients
8 slices (1-1/2 inch/4 cm) French bread 8
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened 125 mL
1 tbsp strawberry jam 15 mL
4 eggs 4
1/2 cup milk 125 mL
1/2 tsp vanilla 2 mL
2 tbsp oil 30 mL
Directions
Cut a slit into each slice of bread, without cutting all the way through. Mix cream cheese with jam and spread about 1 tbsp (15 mL) evenly into each slit. Press gently to close.
Beat eggs with milk and vanilla. Dip each stuffed sandwich pocket in egg mixture to coat. If bread is dry, leave longer to soak.
Heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil in nonstick skillet. Add half of the sandwiches and cook each slice until golden brown on each side (about 1 to 2 minutes per side).
Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Serve with preserves, whipped cream, maple or fruit syrup.
