Raspberry And Cream Cheese Stuffed Blueberry French Toast With Ozery Food

RASPBERRY-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Warm 6 serving plates in the oven at 200 degrees.
• Slice the bread into 12 pieces. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy. Add the milk, cream, salt, vanilla and granulated sugar and whisk to blend. Pour into a sheet pan with sides. Arrange the bread slices in the pan in a single layer and let soak. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut the cream cheese into 12 thin slices. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and melt until foamy. Working in 2 batches if necessary, arrange the soaked bread slices in the skillet. Cook until lightly brown, about 3 minutes. Lay 2 slices of cream cheese on top then place 1/6 of the raspberries on top of the cheese. Place another slice of soaked bread on top and press firmly with the back of a spatula. Turn the "sandwich" over and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to warmed serving plates.
• Coulis: In a large bowl puree defrosted raspberries. Stir in confectioners' sugar and lemon juice to taste. Through a fine sieve into a serving bowl, strain raspberries.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Using a mixer on high speed, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks are formed. Don't over beat the cream or it will turn to butter! There is no need to clean the beaters before the next step.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream and gently mix so that you have a light and fluffy cream cheese mixture.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture on four of the slices of bread and sprinkle generously with the raspberries. Press berries down into the cream cheese mixture as much as possible, and spread a bit more cream cheese on the matching pieces of bread. This will seal the sandwich shut when you put them together. If using jam, spread it on the other four slices of bread and skip the top layer of cream cheese. (It's much less messy if you don't spread cream cheese and jam the whole way to the edges.)
• Put the bread together to form four cream cheese and fruit/jam sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half to make eight triangles, and set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice in a flat-bottomed bowl or pie plate. Set aside.
• Melt a little butter (or whatever you like to use) on a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• While the griddle or skillet is heating, allow each sandwich to sit in the egg mixture until it is completely soaked through.
• Transfer the soaked sandwich to the hot griddle and cook until browned. Flip it over, and cook until browned on the other side.
• Garnish with more fresh berries, a dab of jam, or your favorite syrup.

• 3. Combine beaten eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, and salt in shallow bowl. (For added taste, you might want to add a few drops of Grand Marnier)
• 4. Dip each sandwich in egg mixture, turning carefully to coat both sides,. Place sandwiches in greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake in 425 degree oven 15 minutes or until golden brown, turning once after 10 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired. NOTE: If desired, you can substitute frozen raspberries.
