Raspberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
Every weekend, Hubby and I eat eggs for breakfast. Some days it’s on a sandwich with bacon, sometimes, just scrambled with toast, and other times, we just eat them over easy. It’s our standard breakfast Saturday and Sunday each weekend. We rarely go for sweets for breakfast even considering the amount of sweets that are always in the house.
I decided to mix things up with this Raspberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast. We were both very excited for the change of pace. This recipe raises french toast to a whole new level.
Every bite includes the delicious sweetness that french toast always provides. Then it throws in some delicious fruit and berry cream cheese. Literally nothing is better than a bite of this french toast topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Raspberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
Yield: Serves 6
Ingredients:
1-2 loaves French bread
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup berry cream cheese (or use another 3 Tbsp cream cheese and 2 Tbsp jam)
~1 cup raspberries
1 Tbsp sugar
2 eggs
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
powdered sugar
Directions:
Cut the bread into slices, approximately 2 inches thick. Make a long, deep cut into the middle of the bread slice, entering from the top.
Sprinkle the raspberries with sugar, and allow them to sit while you mix the filling. Spoon berry cream cheese and sweetened berries into the bread pocket. Try and seal the edges if possible.
Combine the eggs, cinnamon and milk.
Heat up your griddle or skillet. Once hot, add butter and let it melt.
Soak each side of the stuffed toast in the egg mixture, about 30 seconds on each side. Fry the french toast, about three minutes on each side (or until golden brown). You can try and give the edges a little heat as well, as the bread is very thick.
Cut the stuffed French toast in half, and garnish with powdered sugar and more raspberries, if desired.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I wish I could run home & bake these right now! They look so delicious & how could you go wrong with apples & cinnamon? I can’t wait to try these soon.
They look so good! I LOOOVE the cute apple backround too! 🙂 🙂
These look great!
I made these from Katie’s blog in the fall and took them to a school function. One of my student’s dads ate several of them. A few weeks later I made chocolate chip cookies because they’re usually a hit with everyone there, and the same dad was like “awww. where are those apple bars? I was hoping for those again.” 🙂 They are truly wonderful!
I agree! These are amazing. I send baked goods with hubby about once a week and these got so many more comments than usual. I’m actually making them again this weekend.
I saw that recipe last year, and I wish I had made them. They look so good.
Free manual labor in exchange for apple bars? Sounds like a deal to me. I’ll have to offer that up next time I have to call a plumber 🙂
Scott made these tonight and they were AMAZING! Seriously, AMAZING!
I made these this weekend….they were fantastic! At 10 last night Sam had to ask me “are you still eating that apple cake?” Yes. I was. I saved one more piece for after work today!
Oh, my dad would love these. I have an apple bread recipe that he always requests. I’ll bookmark this one to try too. Thanks.
