Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 whole Eggs
• ⅓ cups Heavy Cream Or Half-and-Half
• 1-½ teaspoon Approximate; Zest Of 1 Orange
• ¼ cups Approximate; Juice Of 1 Orange
• ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• ¼ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
• ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
• ¼ cups Blueberry Preserves (or Favorite Fruit Preserve)
• 8 slices Bread, Cut Thick, About 3/4"
• 2 Tablespoons Butter

Preparation Instructions

Lightly whisk the eggs, cream, orange zest, juice, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar and salt together in a shallow baking dish to combine.

In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese and preserves.

Make 4 sandwiches using the cream cheese mixture.

Carefully dip each sandwich in the egg mixture; be sure to flip, being careful to cover all sides completely. Let them rest on a plate while you prepare the griddle or skillet.

Heat a griddle or skillet over low-medium heat. Depending on how much room you have to cook each sandwich, you’ll need to split the butter between batches, roughly using 1/2 tablespoon per sandwich.

Place sandwiches on the heated griddle or skillet, and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Cut in quarters or halves.

Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and/or syrup.
