STUFFED FRENCH TOAST POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Mix the filling ingredients together in a small bowl until consistency is smooth. Chill 30 minutes.
• Roll each slice of bread flat with a mason jar or rolling pin.
• Put about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of a slice. Place another slice directly on top, as if you were making a sandwich.
• NOTE: Be careful not to press down on the center so the filling doesn't spread.
• Using a wide-mouth mason jar lid or biscuit/cookie cutter, press firmly down on the sandwich and remove the crust around the lid.
• Use a knife to refine the edges of the circle. Gently release pocket from lid.
• Press down firmly on the outer edges of the pocket with a fork to make indentations.
• Repeat steps 3-8 for each pocket. Set pockets aside.
• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place baking rack on top of parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Separately dip each pocket in egg mixture, flipping to ensure it gets entirely coated. Let excess drip off.
• Arrange 4 pockets on baking rack. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let cool 5-10 minutes.
• Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup.
• Enjoy!

HEALTHY GRILLED FRENCH TOAST FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Special equipment: nonstick foil
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Tear eight 14-inch pieces of nonstick foil and lay them out nonstick-side up. Brush the centers of each piece with the melted butter.
• Whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon in a small baking dish or large resealable bag.
• Dip each side of each piece of bread in the milk mixture until fully submerged. Arrange 2 pieces of bread next to each other, without overlapping, on 1 piece of buttered foil. Repeat with the remaining bread and 3 pieces of foil.
• Make the foil packs: Put the remaining 4 pieces of foil, buttered-side down, directly on top of the bread so the foil touches the bread and the edges line up. Fold and crimp the edges tightly to make 4 oblong packets.
• Put the packs on the grill, close the lid and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the packets over, close the lid and grill 5 minutes more. Remove and let rest for a few minutes. Carefully open the packets (hot steam will escape). Both sides of the French toast should be browned and the center should be custardy. Keep in the packets or transfer to plates. Top each serving with 1/4 cup of the berries and more maple syrup, if desired.
