I made this for breakfast this morning and it was delicious! I made it as shown on the blog. I doubled the cream cheese and strawberry jam and added fresh strawberries. Yummy!

I made this dish for Mother’s Day for my wife. OMG was it ever deeelicious. I used blueberry jam and fresh bluberries as well. The presentation and taste were outstanding. Thanks for this keeper of a recipe.

I really enjoyed this as my Mother’s Day/Birthday breakfast. I doubled the filling recipe and added fresh strawberries as well. I did think the whole tablespoon of cinnamon was rather excessive, but I used it and didn’t have any complaints. I’ll probably use less next time, though.

This was delicious. My husband thought I put to much filling in the bread but I thought it was perfect.

This dish is such a delicious, special treat! As per the blog, I used strawberries and doubled the filling, and it was perfect!
If you are struggling with getting the filling in, and making it pretty, just use an icing bag without the tip! I did this and it worked great.
Two other things I did which worked well:
I added fresh lemon zest to the filling, for a little “zing”, and instead of garnishing with the almond slices, I dipped each piece of bread in almond slices after dipping in the egg mixture. This gave the french toast a nice crunch on the outside that was a great contrast to the creamy filling!

I made this with just strawberry spread and cream cheese. It was divine. Next time I may cut my bread a little thinner than two inches as it was hard to fry the slices through without bruning. Also it took four eggs for me. Am thinking of trying it again with apple pie filling!

I too, made this for Mother’s Day. It was absolutely delicious. I used strawberry jam and fresh strawberries. I am so happy to have discovered this recipe. Thanks Manda.

My boyfriend cleaned his plate, looked at me, and said “Your stock just went up” (Which is a compliment, for those of you who don’t hang out with 23 year old guys on a regular basis). I also copied the blog, making it with strawberries and using one of those round loafs of “country white bread” that you get at the bakery. I won’t lie, making and filling pockets with that sort of bread was difficult, but well worth it.

I got a similar recipe from Southern Living about 8 years ago and made it for a family Christmas Brunch. It was a huge hit!! The one I had did not require the fruit, instead the stuffing had chopped nuts and cream cheese and the syrup was a hot syrup!! YUM!

I doubled the recipe and cut the pocket in the loaf and stuffed them before cutting them into slices. Used strawberry jam.. next time I will use blackberry. It was awesome! everyone got secounds and started mooching mine untill I gave it up! but from what I tasted of them they are great! Thank you!!!

I made this on saturday morning and it was a hit with the entire family! Definitely don’t cut the slices of bread any larger than 2 inches or the slabs o bread are huge!

woo-hoo! Amanda, your recipe is featured on PWs TK blog, how cool is that???? Can’t wait to try this, maybe in the a.m. if I pick up some french bread….but you gotta come up this way and do u-pick at our place when the berries are ripe (late-June to mid-July)–
hugs and blessings, Linda Carter

Very good! I doubled the amount of cream cheese/jam, used diced fresh strawberries and left off the syrup.
It was a hit with the family this morning! Thanks!!

I made this for 2. I used a Baby French Boule, but I would try to find something with a finer crumb next time, as I was worried I would have a blow out. I also added some macerated strawberries to the stuffing and used the extra for the top! I also used a small offset spatula to fill and spread the stuffing and cooked it in my electric skillet…easy to keep at 350 degrees.
This was really good and not too sweet and waayyy simple!

Delicious. I used strawberry cream cheese with strawberry jam and fresh strawberries all together as the filling. It was great for Mother’s Day brunch! =)
