Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup raspberry puree
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch slices
• butter
• confectioners' sugar for dusting
• nutmeg, for topping

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon into the beaten eggs until well blended. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together raspberry puree and cream cheese until smooth. Make 'sandwiches' by cutting each slice of bread in half and spreading raspberry-cheese mixture in the center, then top with the other half.


2. Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet or griddle. Dip bread into egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Cook until well-browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and nutmeg. Serve immediately.
