ORANGE PECAN
STUFFED FRENCH TOAST INGREDIENTS: Filling: 1 8 oz. package cream cheese 1/3 Cup sugar 1/3 Cup of toasted chopped pecans 1 tablespoon orange zest 1 Large loaf of French bread
Batter: 4 beaten eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 Cup milk 2 tablespoons butter for frying
Blend the cream cheese, nuts, sugar and 1 tablespoon of orange zest in a medium bowl and set aside. Cut the French bread loaf into 1 inch slices. Then cut each of the 1" slices again 2/3 through to form a pocket with a hinge of bread at the bottom. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture into each bread pocket and lightly press to close around the filling. Set aside.
Whip eggs in a medium glass bowl with a fork then add vanilla and milk. Stir again. Pour the egg mixture into a shallow pie pan or a dish. Briefly dip each filled bread pocket on both sides. Place bread in the pan and fry on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve hot with orange maple syrup.
