STUFFED FRENCH TOAST (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)

Steps:

• Microwave the cream cheese (in a large bowl) on high just until softened, 5 to 10 seconds. Check it. You'd be surprised how microwave ovens vary.
• Stir in 2 tablespoons of the sugar and all of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir till smooth. Wrap tightly and chill for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Arrange the bread on a rack set over a rimmed baking sleet. Bake it until slightly dry, about 15 minutes. (I would say "or stale bread", but if you're familiar with their exhaustive testing approach, it's best to just trust them and do this step.).
• Spread the cream cheese evenly over 4 pieces of bread. Leave a 1/2-inch at the edges. ( If you do not leave the border clear, it will just come out while cooking and be wasted.) Lightly press the rest of the slices over the top to make 4 sturdy sandwiches.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk it with the milk, egg, vanilla, salt and the remaining 2 T. of sugar. Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth. Pour the batter into a large shallow dish.
• Slide 2 sandwiches into the batter and soak both sides, about 1 minute per side. Meanwhile, melt 1 more T. of the butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until it begins to brown, swirling to coat the pan.
• Remove the bread from the batter. Let excess batter drip back in the dish. Lay two sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2.5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the other two sandwiches.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Take 6 slices of Texas toast and spread with cream cheese generously. Lay them cream cheese up in bottom of 9 x 13 pan, top with pecans, apples and raisins. Lay 6 more pieces of Texas toast on top. In a large bowl mix together the milk, eggs, cinnamon and sugar, Pour it over Texas toast in pan, be sure to do it slowly so it covers the toast. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool in a refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• Bake on 375 for 1 hour till you see it turn golden brown and puffed up. It can get rather tall so beware.
• * As a tip after covering with plastic wrap put 3 boxes of broth on top for weight. It helps saturate the Texas toast.
