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!

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.

SHEET PAN STUFFED PASTRY POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to 9x12-inch (23x30-cm) rectangles. Set one pastry sheet aside and fold the other in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise twice, to form creases for 8 pockets. Unfold the pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet.
• Make the Strawberries 'n' Cream filling: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
• Make the Very Berry filling: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries, then add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork.
• Spoon the berry mixture over the center of 2 of the 8 rectangles.
• Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the banana slices.
• Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the strawberries.
• Place apples slices in the center of the remaining 2 rectangles, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Brush the egg wash over the pastry around the edges and between each filling, then top with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Use your fingers to press the pastry down around each filling. Once tightly pressed, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out each pocket.
• Seal the outside edges with a fork. Poke the top of each pocket with a fork 3-4 times to ventilate. Brush the tops with egg wash.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and thick.
• Remove the pockets from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Decorate with the glaze, then serve immediately, or wrap in wax paper and freeze for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven.
• Enjoy!

JAM-FILLED TOASTER PASTRY-LIKE ITEMS

Steps:

• To make the crust and filling: With a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the yolks, salt, and vanilla and mix well. Gradually mix in the flour. While the mixer in going, add the cream and mix until the dough is smooth.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spray it with cooking spray.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a ruler to make uniform rectangles, or to be totally exact, trace a 3-by-5-inch card (that's how big the store brand is). Reroll the scraps, getting as many rectangles as you can until you're out of dough. Place half the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of half the rectangles, leaving a 1/2-inch edge uncovered. Don't overfill them! Try to make these look legit.
• Using a finger or pastry brush, spread water around the 1/2-inch border of the filled rectangles.
• Fit a top rectangle on each filled rectangle, pressing with the tines of a fork around the border to seal the top and bottom crusts together.
• Brush each tart with a bit of egg wash and poke a few tiny holes in each so the steam can escape. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden. Let the tarts cool completely on a wire rack.
• To make the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk (and cinnamon, if using) to make the icing.
• When the tarts are completely cool, ice them if desired, and add some sprinkles if you like. But seriously, add those sprinkles.
• Let the icing set up for about 10 minutes and enjoy!
