0 Stuffed French Toast

After making the cinnamon swirl bread, I wanted to make french toast, only something fancier. I went to a restaurant with a friend who ordered stuffed french toast. Stuffed with what? The server said, "cream cheese and orange marmalade." "Can you make it without marmalade?" my friend asked. They did and she said it was the best french toast she ever had!



I wasn't sure that cinnamon would go with orange or strawberry jellies, so I opted to try a simple cream cheese variety. My family was impressed and my husband even joked, "Are we going to eat like this until you are done with your blog?"



This recipe is very sweet. Next time, I would cut down the sugar and maybe even try some strawberry preserves in the cream cheese.
