Photo: Stuffed French Toast Recipe
Ingredients
Batter:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups cream cheese
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup medium-diced banana
- 1/8 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- Butter, as needed
- 4 (2-inch thick) pieces challah bread
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving, optional
- Fresh berries, for serving, optional
Directions
Batter:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well until incorporated. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Filling:
Fold all ingredients together in a bowl until well incorporated but not completely smooth.
Syrup:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and let reduce by 1/3.
French Toast:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large saute pan and then add butter. Dredge the bread in the batter and place in the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Divide filling between 2 pieces of the bread top with the remaining 2 pieces of bread. Transfer French toast to oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Cut each French toast in half and serve with the cinnamon syrup and, if desired, a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.

I'm rating this dish overall, which is why I gave it three stars. The dish itself was excellent... But it was just too sweet. if I were to make it again I would nix the chocolate chips and probably not use the syrup! Hubby and I couldn't even finish one piece without feeling the diabetes creeping in lol! So I give it a five for flavor but a one because you simply can't enjoy it... So it's a three.

I think this recipe deserves a five star rating it was wonderful. I changed it up a little to suit my taste but over all amazing. I used whipped cream instead if ice cream and chopped the bananas and put them on top with the whipped cream. I am normally not a fan of bananas but this recipe needs them to cut the sweetness a little. I have a three year old and she loved it. Great for children!!
