Stuffed French Toast

Stuffed French Toast

What You Need:

Toast:

1 Loaf French Bread

5 Eggs

2 tbs Sugar

2 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 cup Heavy Cream

Crushed Cornflakes (optional)

Filling:

8oz Cream Cheese, softened

1 cup Cool Whip, softened

1 cup Powdered Sugar

Strawberry Sauce:

2 cups Strawberries

Sugar

What You Do:

Mix all the ingredients for the filling and set aside. 

Blend strawberry and sugar together, adding sugar to get desired sweetness. Set aside as well. 

Cut french bread into even slices, about 1.5-2 inch thick. Blend together eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and heavy cream. Dip bread into mixture, then into crushed cornflakes, if you opted for them. Cook until done. Put filling between two slices and drizzle with strawberry sauce and top with whip cream.

Chef's Scribbles:

My husband absolutely loves IHOP's stuffed french toast. Whenever we go stateside, we make it a point to go out and get him a breakfast at the restaurant. Knowing he loves it and how rarely we're able to go, I have been looking for copy cat recipes online, and all have fallen short until this one. He loves it. He's happy to eat it at least once a week, and its so delicious, that I'm perfectly fine with that. 

I completely disregard the cornflakes, though. Another restaurant had this cornflake dipped icecream, and that was amazing, though husband wasn't too excited about the cornflakes. So I ignored that altogether. 

And since I live in the stone ages and don't own a blender, I ignored the strawberry sauce, as well. We either go without entirely, or I drizzle store-bought strawberry syrup, and pile on sliced strawberries. 

Absolutely delicious dish. I am very glad to have found this.
