Stuffed French Toast with Raspberry Sauce
(4 servings) Printable Version
- FILLING:
-
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
-
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese - at room temperature
-
1 teaspoon almond extract
-
2 Tablespoons sugar
-
1 loaf French or Italian bread cut in 1 1/2-inch slices
-
8 eggs
2/3 cup half 'n half
-
1 Tablespoons butter
-
SAUCE:
-
1 package (10 ounces) Deluxe Red Raspberries - thawed and drained (reserving juice)
- 1/2 cup sugar
-
2 Tablespoons raspberry jam
In medium bowl, combine ricotta, cream cheese, almond extract and sugar; stir until well blended.
Make a pocket in each bread slice by cutting through center of top crust down into bread to within ¾-inch from edges, being careful not to cut through sides.
Fill pocket with 1 to 2 tablespoons filling. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
In medium bowl, whisk together eggs with half 'n half until well blended. Dip each side of bread into egg mixture until well coated.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Place bread slices into skillet and fry both sides until golden brown and filling is warm, about 6 to 8 minutes.
In medium saucepan, combine reserved raspberry juice and sugar; stir in raspberry jam. Bring raspberry mixture to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes,allowing mixture to slightly thicken. Remove from heat and stir in raspberries.
Serve warm over french toast.
Invite friends over for this one! It takes a little more work than your average French Toast, but it's worth it.

My sister described it as 'part jelly donut - part cheese cake'. By the way - for the topping we had no raspberry jam so we mixed in strawberry jam and that worked wonderfully.

It wasn't to pleasant, but maybe it was just me. I guess if you were to like it that way it would taste great. My daughter and husband loved it.

As long as you like all the ingredients this was very good. The ricotta cheese gives the filling a little grainy texture, but the filling has a flavor of some old European Danish recipes. Filling the toast is a challenge that turns it into a gooey mess... but most things that taste great (like this) are messy...
