Ingredients for Apple Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
How to Make Apple Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, cream cheese, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
- Cut a slit lengthwise down the center of each slice of bread, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the apple cream cheese mixture evenly into the slit of each bread slice.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish.
- Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the French toast is cooked through and the filling is heated.
- Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
