stuffed french toast

there's a great place in philadelphia called sabrina's that makes delicious breakfast dishes. one of them is stuffed french toast. i decided to try and make my own.

take a french baquette and slice them into 2 inch pieces. then slice them in half but not all the way so you have a hinge. lather one side with cream cheese (let it soften to make it easier to spread) and the other side with any kind of jam you like.

in a bowl, mix together egg and milk (for one serving i used one egg and about 1/2 cup of milk). add a sprinkle of cinnamon and about 1/2 tsp of vanilla. add the french toast slices covering both sides and then let them sit in the mixture until the bread soaks up all the liquid. flip occasionally.

in a pan on med-low heat, melt a dab of butter. place the french toast on the pan cooking evenly on both sides.

enjoy by itself or with maple syrup.
