Ingredients
- 227 g Cream cheese
- 45 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 g Dried cranberries
- 4 Whole eggs
- 240 ml Milk
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 8 slices Challah bread (thick slices)
- 28 g Butter
- 120 ml Maple syrup
- 50 g Fresh cranberries or additional dried cranberries (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Fold in the dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
Step 3
Take the slices of challah bread and create a pocket in the center of each slice using a knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
Stuff each bread slice with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly spread inside the pocket.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
Step 7
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well soaked but not overly saturated.
Step 8
Place the slices onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Step 9
Remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Step 10
Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh cranberries or additional dried cranberries, if desired.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy!
