Step by Step
- Preheat a griddle to 350 ℉ (175 ℃) or set a large skillet over medium heat.
- Prepare your filling. For each slice of bread mixed 1 tablespoon of jam to 1 tablespoon of cream cheese and stir until desired smoothness is reached. (I left mine on the thicker side.) This allows your guests to pick their flavor of the filling.
- Slice the bread into 1½ inch (4 cm) thick slices, about two fingers thick. Slice a horizontal pocket into the bottom of the bread being careful not to cut all the way through. Place the jam and cream cheese mixture into a piping bag and fill the pocket.
- Once all the bread is stuffed, prepare the egg mixture. Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla if you like a sweeter batter in a large flat baking dish. Carefully dip the bread into the egg mixture and coat both sides.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in the griddle and add the coated bread slices. Cook until golden brown and flip to cook the other side.It should take about 4 minutes per side depending on the heat of the griddle.
- Serve with syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or heat up some jam and serve over top.
- Adding fresh fruit and some bacon is always a delicious side to french toast.
