Perfect for 2 Ingredients:
4 slices italian bread (stale, about 4 inches in diameter and sliced 1 inch thick) or 4 slices french bread (stale, about 4 inches in diameter and sliced 1 inch thick) or 4 slices challah (stale, about 4 inches in diameter and sliced 1 inch thick) |
4 tablespoons fruit spread, any flavor |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup milk |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 teaspoons butter |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
plain yogurt (optional) |
Directions:
1. With a sharp serrated knife, cut lengthwise through each slice of bread to within 1/2 inch of the bottom and side crusts to make a pocket. Using a butter knife, fill each pocket with a generous tablespoon of fruit spread.
2. In a shallow bowl that is large enough to hold the 4 bread slices in 1 layer, mix together eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Soak the bread slices 2 or 3 minutes, turning them once.
3. Warm a large skillet on medium-low heat. Coat the bottom of the skillet with 1 teaspoon each of the butter and oil. Cook 2 slices of bread at a time for about 6 minutes, turning the slices several times, until both sides are nicely browned and crisp. Add the remaining teaspoon of butter and oil to the skillet and cook the final 2 slices of bread.
4. Serve hot, either plain or topped with yogurt.
