Serve warm with a dollop of orange marmalade on the top and a good cup of coffee. Even though orange marmalade isn't a particularly popular preserve in my area of the country, it really makes this special. You can replace the liqueur with any flavored liquid non-dairy coffee creamer. Ingredients:
1 (1 pound) loaf french bread |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
4 eggs |
1/4 cup irish cream liqueur |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/3 cup orange marmalade |
Directions:
1. Slice the French bread on a slant, giving each side of the slice a nice surface area. Slice the brick of cream cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices. Make a slit in each slice of French bread through the crust to form a pocket. Place a slice of cream cheese in each pocket; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat together eggs, Irish cream liqueur, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. Melt butter in a griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Briefly dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and place on the griddle. Brown on both sides and serve warm with a dollop of orange marmalade on top.
