Notes
Tips for the Best Stuffed French Toast
Use low heat. This is the most important tip! Because the bread is thick and stuffed, you need low heat so the outside doesn't burn before the inside cooks through. Be patient - it's worth it. Soften your cream cheese first. Room temperature cream cheese mixes smooth and spreads easily into the bread pocket. Cold cream cheese just creates lumps and tears the bread. Don't rush the soak. Give the bread a full 3-5 minutes per side in the egg mixture. Thick bread needs time to really absorb the custard so every bite is rich and flavorful - not dry in the middle. Seal the edges. After stuffing, gently press the bread opening closed before dipping in the egg mixture. This helps keep the filling inside while it cooks. You don't want all that butterscotch cream cheese melting out onto the griddle!Nutrition
