Makes about 12 pieces of French toast
Here's what you will need:
1 loaf of French bread
1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups fresh berries, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk or half-and-half
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2-3 tablespoons butter
Maple syrup, confectioner's sugar, and additional berries for serving (optional)
INSTRUCTION :
Begin by cutting your bread. With a bread knife remove about an inch
from the end of the bread.
Then, make a slice about 1/2 inch into the bread. Only cut about 3/4 of
the way through. Then, about a 1/2 inch from your first slice,
make another cut into the bread.
This time, slice through. This will leave you with a slice of bread with a little pocket.
Continue slicing the rest of the loaf in the same fashion. Set aside.
In a bowl with a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese, chopped
berries, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Set aside.
Using a spatula, spread a generous amount of the berry and cream
cheese mixture between the two layers of each slice of bread. Set aside.
