Description

Delight in these Raspberry Granola Stuffed French Toast slices, featuring thick brioche bread filled with a luscious raspberry cream cheese mix, dipped in a vanilla-infused egg batter, pan-fried to a golden perfection, and topped with crunchy granola, fresh raspberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures.


Ingredients

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices brioche bread
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam

Topping

  • 1/2 cup granola
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Batter

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and raspberry jam thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the raspberry cream cheese mixture evenly between pairs of brioche bread slices to create stuffed sandwiches.
  3. Make the egg batter: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
  4. Dip the sandwiches: Submerge each stuffed sandwich into the egg batter, making sure both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
  5. Cook the French toast: Heat a buttered skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Add toppings: Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet. Top each sandwich with crunchy granola, fresh raspberries, and a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Use brioche or any thick, sturdy bread to prevent sogginess while cooking.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with a plant-based spread.
  • Granola adds a delightful crunch but can be omitted for a softer texture.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure the French toast cooks evenly without burning.
  • Fresh raspberries can be replaced with other berries like blueberries or strawberries.
