Berry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast

Just another way to bring the sugary-creamy goodness of Valentine's day to the breakfast table.

You need:

Loaf of french bread
Frozen berries
Cream cheese
Eggs
Milk
Vanilla
Sugar!

Puree 1 cup of any berry with a couple scoops of sugar. (I used blueberries this time. Not very valentiney, but they were what I had and Devan loves blueberries. Blueberies are my least favorite berry, but I still loved these.)

Cream the puree together with 4 oz softened cream cheese.

Beat about 4 eggs with milk and add it some vanilla, cinnamon and sugar. The original recipe called for 1 cup of sugar. Yikes! I used a couple tablespoons.

Cut a loaf of french bread into 1 inch slices and spread the cream chesse mixture between two slices like a sandwich. Then dip into the egg mixture and fry.

So delicious! We decided they're best when they're hot, straight off the frying pan. This recipe made 6 french toasts. I was uncomfortably full after 1 and a half pieces. Devan finished off the rest.
