I found this recipe on iVillage. It's great for all that summer fruit and makes a very gourmet breakfast without too much effort. Ingredients:
2 loaves wide french bread |
1 (8 ounce) package soft cream cheese |
2 tablespoons strawberry jam |
1 pint blueberries |
1 dozen egg |
3 cups milk (at least 2%) |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 bag frozen strawberry |
1 quart fresh strawberries |
3 ripe bananas |
1/2 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Chop strawberries and bananas and cream together with strawberry jam and cream cheese.
2. Cut bread into 1 1/2 inch thick slices.
3. Cut a pocket into the bread but do not cut through the crust on the bottom.
4. Stuff with the filling.
5. Mix the eggs in a bowl that is not too deep so that the bread does not get soggy.
6. Then, using tongs, take your stuffed bread and put one side at a time into the egg mixture.
7. Fry in butter until brown.
8. Stack in a glass dish and keep warm in the oven until you are finished with the servings you need.
9. Liquefy in a blender, 2 cups of strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and a little water to make a thick syrup.
10. I use frozen berries for this part.
11. Put one piece of the French toast on a plate.
12. Top with the strawberry sauce.
13. Sprinkle on confectionery sugar, and top with some fresh blueberries around the plate.
14. Serve at once.
