Delight in this sweet and comforting Jam Stuffed French Toast, featuring slices of bread generously filled with fruit jam and optional cream cheese.

Ingredients
Jam Filling
- 1/2 cup fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (optional)
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Spread the fruit jam evenly on one slice of bread. If using cream cheese, spread it on another slice. Press the two slices together to make a sandwich with the filling inside.
- Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip the sandwiches: Carefully dip each jam-stuffed bread sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked through to prevent sogginess.
- Cook the toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the dipped sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish and serve: Remove the toast from the skillet, dust with powdered sugar for sweetness, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use any type of fruit jam based on your preference.
- The cream cheese is optional but adds a creamy texture and balances the sweetness.
- Use sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast for best results to hold the filling without falling apart.
- Adjust the cooking heat as necessary to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks properly.
- Serve with fresh berries or syrup for added flavor.
