STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Batter:
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well until incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Filling:
• Fold all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated but not completely smooth.
• Syrup:
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/3.
• French Toast:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a large saute pan and then add butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Divide filling between 2 pieces of the bread top with the remaining 2 pieces of bread. Transfer French toast to oven and bake for 8 minutes.
• Cut each French toast in half and serve with the cinnamon syrup and, if desired, a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.

CAFE DE LA OLLA FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For the bread and filling: Using a small sharp knife, cut a 2-inch-long slit in one side of each bread slice, cutting three-quarters of the way through the bread and creating a pocket for the filling.
• In a medium bowl, add the piloncillo, pecans, chocolate, coffee, orange zest and cinnamon and stir until combined. Fill the pocket of each slice of bread with some of the filling.
• For the custard: In a shallow bowl, combine the milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract and eggs and whisk until combined. Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, making sure to coat each side of the bread and allowing the egg mixture to soak in.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and heat until it melts.
• Put the raw sugar on a plate, then dip the soaked bread in it, coating both sides of each slice.
• Add some of the coated bread slices to the skillet and cook on both sides until light golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
• Serve the French toast with chopped pecans, grated Mexican chocolate and maple syrup.

LA ISLA'S STUFFED FRENCH TOAST RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using a hand beater, beat the 2 tablespoons of butter, and the cream cheese until combined. Add the marmalade and mix until incorporated, then fold in the strawberries and guava shells, using a rubber scraper. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large tip. Make an incision (pocket) on the crust side of the 4 pieces of bread about 3/4 of the way through. The incision will allow you to stuff the pocket. Leave the slices with the incision, covered, at room temperature before stuffing. Gently stuff the room temperature slices with the filling. Refrigerate the stuffed slices with the pocket opening facing up for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Egg batter: Add all the ingredients to a medium shallow bowl and mix well. French Toast: Add the corn cereal and almonds to a sheet pan and crush together. Dip the bread slices in the egg batter and then into the cereal mixture. Put a large skillet on medium-high heat and add 3 to 4 tablespoons butter. When the butter has melted add the stuffed bread slices and brown on 1 side, then flip and put the skillet in oven for 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the toast to a serving platter. Drizzle with guava marmalade and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
