Veggicate : Stuffed French Toast

My boyfriend and I were craving some breakfast food for dinner, so we decided to whip up some french toast. Instead of just the normal french toast we decided to kick it up a bit by stuffing the french toast with cream cheese and fresh strawberries and topping it with a raspberry and blackberry glaze.

Ingredients:

Texas toast bread
5 eggs
1 container of blackberries
1 container of raspberries
1 container of strawberries
1 container of cream cheese (we happened to have mixed berry and classic cream cheese)
3/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

This recipe will make about 4 stuffed french toast which will take 8 individual slices of toast all together.

Starting with the berry glaze you will want to combine 1 cup of water, 3/4 cup of sugar, the containers of raspberries and blackberries, about 4 or 5 strawberries chopped into small pieces all into a pot over medium high heat. Once it comes to a boil reduce to medium low heat and let it simmer. You'll want the glaze to reduce by half. It'll take 10-15 mins.

In the meantime whisk 5 eggs into a bowl. Adding a splash of milk or water along with a teaspoon of cinnamon.

Dip the individual slices of Texas toast bread in the the egg mixture. Making sure to coat the entire piece of bread.

Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet that has been heated to medium heat. Place the coated piece of bread into the skillet and let cook until golden brown. Should take about a minute.

Flip the toast and let the other side cook for another 1-2 minutes.

After taking the french toast out of the skillet, let it cool for a few minutes. Then proceed to spread the cream cheese evenly over the toast. We used both regular cream cheese and mix berry cream cheese. Then add strawberries on top. After that you'll want to start the process over again.
