Here is a recipe I got off the food network. Slowe and I watch a lot of that channel. If you take this recipe and substitute orange marmalade for the strawberry, it's just like the stuffed french toast we get at Mimi's Cafe!

Enjoy!

Recipe Summary

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons strawberry preserves

1 tablespoon orange zest

French Toast:

4 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

8 slices Texas Toast style bread, challah, or other thick-sliced bread

Butter

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, strawberry preserves, and orange zest until smooth. Set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and orange liqueur. Pour into a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate. Set aside.

With a pairing knife, slice a pocket into the side of the bread. Do not cut all of the way through the bread. Fill bread slices with a heaping spoonful of cream cheese mixture.

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip the filled bread in the egg mixture and place in the skillet to brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices.

Serve hot with additional Strawberry Cream Cheese on the side.
