We are a family of breakfast-for-dinner lovers! Instead of craving savory this time however, we wanted something for our sweet tooth! This new recipe took some time, but was very calming and well worth it! Hmm....raspberry and lemon zest, stuff it into toast..can you think of anything more lovely?
Check it out!
Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread
1/2 cup softened cream cheese
1/4 cup strawberry preserves
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp melted butter
Strawberries
Directions:
1. Coat a 13 x 9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Slice bread into 12 pieces. Make a slit in side of each slide, large enough to accommodate filling without tearing bread.
2. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, preserves and lemon rind until well blended. Spread a little cheese mixture inside slit of each slice of bread. Transfer to baking pan.
3. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour over bread, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1/2 hour and no longer than 24 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Drizzle melted butter over bread. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with a dusting of powered sugar, drizzle of maple syrup and strawberry slices.
