This recipe takes traditional French toast to the next level by incorporating a fruit filling, all while being enveloped in a layer of crispy, savory bacon. It’s the perfect treat for a weekend brunch or a special breakfast gathering.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of thick bread (challah or brioche works great)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 8 slices of cooked bacon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the fruit filling. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the mixed berries until well combined. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. This will be your egg mixture for dipping the bread.
- Take two slices of bread and spread the berry cream cheese mixture generously between them, creating a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
- Next, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels while keeping the bacon fat in the skillet.
- Once the bacon is cool, chop it into small pieces and spread it on a plate.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Immediately press the sides into the chopped bacon to coat.
- Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy your delicious Bacon-Crusted Fruit-Stuffed French Toast!
