Description

Delight in a decadent breakfast treat with these Raspberry Granola Stuffed French Toast slices. Thick brioche bread is generously filled with a luscious raspberry cream cheese mixture, dipped in a vanilla-egg custard, and pan-fried to a golden perfection. Finished with a crunchy granola topping, fresh raspberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar, this dish balances creamy, fruity, and crunchy textures for an indulgent morning meal.

Ingredients

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices brioche bread
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup raspberry jam

Coating and Topping

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and raspberry jam together until smooth and combined to create a luscious filling.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the raspberry cream cheese mixture evenly between two slices of brioche bread to form four stuffed sandwiches.
  3. Make the custard batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
  4. Dip the sandwiches: Immerse each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing both sides to soak up the custard, ensuring the bread is well coated but not soggy.
  5. Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Place the stuffed sandwiches onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Add toppings and serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet, top generously with crunchy granola, fresh raspberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh brioche bread for a richer taste and texture.
  • Adjust cooking heat as needed to avoid burning the custard coating while ensuring the filling warms through.
  • For extra creaminess, allow the stuffed sandwiches to rest for 2 minutes before cooking.
  • Granola toppings can be substituted with chopped nuts or toasted coconut for varied texture.
  • Serve with maple syrup on the side if desired for added sweetness.
