I got this recipe from The Prepared Pantry and think it's great. It's rich and decadent and good. French Toast is one of my favorite breakfasts so this is a real winner with me. Other jams/jellies may be used in place of cherry to change things up. Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese (regular or low fat) |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
about 2/3 cup cherry jam |
bread slices |
3 large eggs |
2 tablespoons milk or cream |
1 to 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. 1. Finely chop the pecans. Set aside.
2. 2. In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, and extract. Fold in the jam. Spread the cherry and cream cheese mixture between two slices of bread sandwich-style.
3. 3. Whisk the eggs and milk together. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture and then dredge the egg-coated sandwiches in the crushed pecans.
4. 4. Cook the coated sandwiches on a hot griddle or in a frying pan first on one side and then the other. Serve immediately with fruit syrup or maple syrup.
5. Yield is about four double French toast sandwiches.
6. Fruit and Cream Cheese Variations:
7. Instead of cherry jam, try other jams of your choosing. Consider Boysenberry Jam, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, or Red Currant Jelly. Mix the jam or jelly with the cream cheese.
