ingredients

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. pecans
1 loaf white bread
4 eggs
1/2 c. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 (12 oz.) strawberry compote or jam
1/2 c. orange juice
1tsp orange zest

Instructions

Beat the cream cheese and vanilla together until fluffy. Stir in the nuts.

Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the mixture on a slice of bread. Top with

a second piece of bread (like a sandwich). Repeat this process 10-12 times

until the mixture is all used.

Beat together the eggs, whipping cream, vanilla and nutmeg. Dip the

"sandwiches" into the egg mixture. Cook on a lightly greased griddle until

golden brown, turn to cook the other side. Keep the cooked "sandwiches"

warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a warm oven.

Meanwhile, heat together the preserves and orange juice. To serve, dust the

Stuffed French Toast with powdered sugar and drizzle the warm sauce

over the top. Sprinkle on orange zest to garnish. Makes 10-12 pieces.
