STUFFED PEACH FRENCH TOAST

Category: French Toast

1 (1 lb) loaf French bread, sliced 1 inch thick
4 tbsp peach preserves
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk or half-and-half
1 tsp sugar and vanilla extract

Combine cream cheese and preserves. Make a pocket in the sliced French bread and stuff each piece with 2 tbsp of mixture. Place in a single layer in a large pan.

Whisk together remaining ingredients and carefully pour over bread, turning once. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before cooking to warm up. Grill, until brown, on both sides. Do not press down on bread while cooking. Slice fresh peaches and mix sugar, to you taste, to make a syrup. Toss gently. Serve each pieces of toast with peach mixture and powdered sugar. Serve maple syrup on the side.
