On Saturday, I was one of those annoying restaurant customers who pulled out her camera when the food came. These biscuits, though. Theeeese biscuits, though... (typed twice on purpose) they're famous for a reason. Do I even need to say what restaurant they're from? I may or may not be trying to recreate this recipe in my own kitchen soon.
Speaking of my kitchen, thanks to the nonstop rain and 65 degree
Well... *Dwayne The Rock Johnson voice* IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE NAME IS!! Because I've been doing this breakfast for dinner thang for years. In fact, no undergrad collegiate experience is complete without a few poptarts and bowls of cereal for your evening feast. How else was I supposed to gain my freshman 15?
Thankfully, my culinary skills have come a long way since then, but I doubt there's a woman in this world who sincerely wants to throw down in the kitchen every single night. Sometimes (read: most times) I keep it simple, and breakfast is about as simple as it gets.
Homemade Stuffed French Toast
INGREDIENTS:
Bread (obviously) - 4 slices
Cream Cheese - 8oz
Brown Sugar - 1/4 cup
Berries of Choice - as much as you prefer
2 eggs
Almond Milk - 1/4 cup (can substitute with any milk)
Cinnamon - 2 tsp.
Butter/Margarine - 2 tbsp.
Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp.
For the fruit filling, I'm using strawberry preserves with blueberries on the side, but any blended berries will work. Even a mashed banana will make a good banana creme filling. I'm also using whole grain bread, but I hear those fancy Italian breads work well, too.
The instructions are literally as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Mix up the cream cheese, brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. vanilla in small bowl until well blended. If the cream cheese is fresh out of the refrigerator, let it sit and soften room temperature for a bit, so it's easier to mix Spread the cream cheese mixture between 2 slices of bread, and spread the fruit on the other two. Throw em' together like a cream cheese fruit sandwich.
2. Whisk the eggs, stir in milk, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla until it's very well blended. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture, and let them soak for about 2 minutes on each side.
3. Melt the butter or margarine in a large nonstick skillet (or griddle if you're fancy) on medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in skillet, and let them cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they're as brown as you like. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, melting remaining tablespoon butter in skillet. Grab the syrup and tear it up!
