<\/p>\nGourmet French Toast, or “Glorified” French Toast as my mom called it, is fabulously delicious – and entirely bad for you! And really, really easy!
\n<\/p>\n
Gourmet French Toast<\/span><\/p>\n 10 slices of bread, cut in half Beat eggs and milk in a bowl, set aside<\/p>\n Combine cream cheese and jam until few lumps remain.<\/p>\n Spread the cream cheese mixture on one half-slice of bread and top with another half-slice (like a sandwich). Dip the completed sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place on greased pan or griddle. Flip over, cooking both sides until the egg is cooked and slightly brown.<\/p>\n Serve warm with sprinkled powdered sugar.<\/p>\n Yield: 10 half-sandwich portions.<\/p>\n My mom used to make this growing up. Its pretty sweet, but not overly rich. When I think about the “bad for you” aspect, I can’t help but wondering if its not better than the classic butter and syrup alternative.<\/p>\n I served mine with blackberries last time (for effect)… too bad I didn’t have any mint leaves lying around. (Oh well, you’ll have to imagine it).<\/p>\n Let me know if you try these and what you think!<\/p>\n
\n4 oz. (half package) of cream cheese, softened
\n1\/2 c. Apricot-pineapple Jam (marmalade or thick flavored syrup will also work)
\n5 eggs
\nSplash of milk
\nPowdered sugar<\/em><\/p>\n
