Stuffed French Toast
 

Anyone here made that for thier kids? Or even heard of it? I was reading a new recipe book I got and it had it in there sounds really good, but I didnt know if it would be a great success with kids.

I actually made this today! Two kids loved it, two wouldn't touch it. My fifth wasn't here today, but he loves it. I used a recipe from Sunmaid. It has raisin bread and bananas, and it is baked in the oven.

This one is the following:

Peel fruit and thinly slice - apples, bananas and pear. Combine fruit and nuts in a bowl (pecans) sprinkle with brown sugar. Beat 2 eggs and add milk, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves in seperate bowl. One loaf french bread cut each slice of bread to back edge no through open slices and spread evenly with butter. Fill slices with fruit mixture pressing halves together to seal. Dip stuffed slices in batter and cook on griddle until browned on both sides.

Sounds intresting to me :D

Yum, sounds good!

would you believe I've only made french toast once in my entire life and I'm over 40!!!
Anyhow; I think too many eggs are used and that grosses me out; I absolutely love french toast, but I just can't get past the eggs!

4 eggs for 6 servings is actually really reasonable. Normally I use 1 egg for 1 piece of french toast (using regular loaf bread) but this recipe calls for french bread, the long baguette style bread (which is smaller)
