I love breakfast foods! I love experimenting with breakfast foods. I love french toast. I love stuffed french toast! I know, that’s a lot of love, right? This past weekend I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try something new. I also had 4oz of cream cheese that needed to be used beucase the other half had been used in Easy Beef Enchiladas earlier in the week! In my typical fashion, I don’t plan ahead, so I have to make due with what I have in the house! Saturday morning was no different! I wanted to use up the cream cheese and I desperately wanted stuffed french toast, but had no real “fresh fruit” in the house as I hadn’t gone grocery shopping yet. The only fruit I had in the house was apples, so the wheels started turning.
I took one apple (these were Honey Crisp) and put it in my electric chopper to get a real fine chop on it. Then, I combined that with my left over cream cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon, & honey. I blended this together really well and spread a good amount between two slices of bread. Then, dipped it in the egg & milk mixture and fried it in a small pan. After removing from heat I poured a small amount of syrup over it and sprinkled it with powdered sugar.
It was delightful combination of sweet and savory all at the same time. I had enough leftover that Sunday morning I spread it between two slices of buttered bread and fried it like a grilled cheese! SOOOOO good! In fact…better than the french toast way! I can’t way to make it again! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
