Stuffed Apricot French Toast Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 loaf (1-1/2 pounds) French bread
4 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 jar (12 ounces) apricot preserves
1/2 cup orange juice

Directions

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 teaspoon vanilla until fluffy. Stir in nuts; set aside.
Cut bread into 1-1/2-in. slices; cut a pocket in the top of each slice. Fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. In another bowl, beat eggs, cream, nutmeg and remaining vanilla. Dip both sides of bread into egg mixture, being careful not to squeeze out the filling.
Cook on a lightly greased griddle until lightly browned on both sides. Place on an ungreased baking sheet; bake at 325° for 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.
Meanwhile, combine preserves and orange juice in a small saucepan; heat through. Drizzle over hot French toast. Yield: 8 servings.

I found this recipe many years ago in the magazine. I was thrilled to find it here so that I can share it with my friends. My family loves this recipe. I use to serve it on Christmas. I use chopped pecans.
