Well, the post I intended to post today is not coming. I stayed up really late the night before I was headed down to my sister’s house to watch her kids – making sure I had pictures and recipes up to post throughout this week. And I just realized that the picture for the recipe I was going to post today did not save. Gotta love it when that happens. But hey – you get another breakfast recipe today – that makes 3 in a row!
This may not look all that pretty, but it sure was delicious! This is like eating dessert instead of a meal! You can most definitely serve this filled French toast with maple syrup, but I had some strawberry syrup in the fridge, and it went perfectly with this decadent breakfast. This is a great way to start off a special (or just any!) day!!
Jam ‘n’ Cream French Toast
from Taste of Home Annual Recipes 2006
serves 1
total time: 15 minutes
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
2 thick slices cinnamon-raisin bread
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon butter
syrup, for serving
Spread cream cheese on one slice of bread. Spread jam on the other slice; place jam side down over the cream cheese. In a shallow bowl, beat egg with milk. Dip both sides of bread into the egg.
In a skillet, melt butter; cook bread for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with syrup, if desired.
Hi: I am one of your newest folowers and this recipe looks delicious, I am having a great time perusing your site, anne

Now that is one decadent breakfast! Mmmm… Wonderful blog you have here, Deborah!
Sorry about that but am happy to have this recipe.
Shamefully I've never made my children french toast. 🙁 Which is dumb seeing as I grew up with my Dad making it for me all the time. Your vamped up version looks good, too!

Wow, combining so many wonderful things into one breakfast is amazing! This would definitely be a great way to start a morning on the weekend – thanks for sharing 🙂
I love eating dessert for breakfast, although it always feels gross afterwards
I'm not minding the breakfast recipes, I would rather exert my strength at cooking in the morning, so this gets me a free afternoon to myself, love it!
This sounds interesting with the raisin toast, will have to try it!
My kids would LOVE this! I'm printing it up for them to try, thanks! Of course, I'll be trying it too. 🙂
I really enjoy reading your blog and can't wait to follow it!
I would love it if you could come check out my blog and follow 🙂

bummer about the picture, i hate it when that happens.
this looks just mouthwatering!
Well, it may not have been your first choice for a posting, Deborah, but it sure is a delicious alternate. I think I'd called it a grilled cream cheese sandwich! YUM.
Stuffed french toast has been on my list for awhile now. This looks fantastic.
More dessert is always fine with me! Damn does this look good. Good luck with all those kids!
stuffed french toast is up there on my list of most awesome foods ever. i love that you used cinnamon raisin bread and the simple addition of some strawberry syrup combined with that strawberry jam makes these particularly decadent! tremendous. 🙂
whoa they look seriously indulgant. Yum
Holy this looks amazing. So simple yet seriously delicious.
What an easy way to dress up French toast! I must try this recipe.
