*STUFFED PEACH FRENCH TOAST*

Category: French Toast

1 (1 lb) sliced French bread 1 inch thick
4 tbsp peach preserves
1 (8 oz) pkg. Cream cheese, softened
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk or half & half
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Fresh peaches, powdered sugar, maple syrup

In blender, combine softened cream cheese and preserves. Make a pocket in sliced french bread and stuff each piece with 2 tbsp of mixture. Place in single layer in large pan or dish. With wire whisk, combine eggs, milk sugar and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread, turning once. Do this carefully, so the bread will stay together. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before cooking, so it will warm up. Grill, till brown, on both sides. Do not press down on bread while cooking. Slice fresh peaches and mix sugar, to your taste, to make a syrup. Toss gently. Serve each piece of toast with peach mixture and powdered sugar. Also good with maple syrup. Serves 10.
