• Combine the cream cheese, jam and slivered almonds in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer.
• Slice the challah into 2-inch-thick slices. With a pairing knife, make a 1/2-inch horizontal slit in the bottom crust of each slice to form a pocket.
• Using a butter knife, fill each slice with some of the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs, almond extract, brown sugar and milk in a large baking dish. Dip the stuffed challah slices into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat each slice.
• Increase the temperature on the preheated griddle to medium heat; add the butter, let it melt, and then place the stuffed and dipped challah onto the griddle.

• Next, beat the eggs, milk, and salt in a seperate bowl.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
• Dip the little half-sandwiches in the egg/milk mixture and place in the skillet.
• I cook 4 little half-sandwiches at a time for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 on the second until they are golden brown on each side.
• Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and top with raspberries and whipped cream!
• Note: To keep them warm while I cook the rest, I keep them in a warm oven as they get done. Also, be sure to add more butter each time you put new sandwiches in the pan.

BACON STUFFED FRENCH TOAST RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Fry your bacon until nice and crispy. Set aside. Cut the crust off one piece of bread, and lay 4 half pieces of bacon in the center. Top with another crustless piece of bread and using your fingers press round the edge to form the piece of bread together. Repeat. Now add your eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla to a bowl and whisk thoroughly. Dunk your stuffed breads into the mix and coat properly. Add your butter to a pan, when melted add your french breads and fry until nice and golden on both sides. Top with icing sugar and maple syrup.

CHEDDAR AND BACON STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the bacon on the prepared pan, brush on the maple syrup and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool until the glaze sets, about 15 minutes.
• Finely dice 4 slices of the glazed bacon and place in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
• Laying the slices of bread on their side, cut a pocket horizontally into the center of each with a paring knife, making sure not to cut all the way through. Stuff each piece of bread with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the bacon and cheese mixture.
• Whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a large baking dish. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the remaining cheese. Add the stuffed bread and let soak for about 1 minute. Turn over to coat. Let them sit in the custard until they are soaked, but not falling-apart soggy, about 2 minutes.
• Preheat a large or 11-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter; it should melt pretty quickly and turn a pale brown. Lift each stuffed bread out of the custard, letting it drip for about a second, then gently place it into the skillet. Cook, in batches if needed, until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium low if the toast is browning too quickly. You'll know they're done when each toast is firm and bounces back when you touch it, which means the custard is cooked through.
• To create cheese crusts, remove the toasts to a plate and sprinkle a thin even layer of the remaining cheese into the bare skillet (see Cook's Note). Return the toasts to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the cheese melts, crusts and hardens, about 2 minutes. You're just crusting one side of the toast, so remove the toast from the skillet, cheese-crust-side up. Serve with the remaining 8 slices of glazed bacon and 3 tablespoons of softened butter. Add maple syrup if you love sweet and savory like I do.

• Just before cooking, in a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, nuts, dried fruit if using, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture, using a spoon to stuff it in each pocket.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
