Quick Cooking: Stuffed french toast

If you can make a sandwich, you can make this. It is delicious, and you can opt the fruit for any thing else you like: chocolate chips, nuts, candies, anything.

Ingredients:
-egg
-bread
-pudding/custard mix
-fruit
-vanilla
-cinnamon (optional)

First you want to make your custard to get it out of the way. Since I made this early morning, I used a package of instant custard. It's different than pudding, it's thicker and not as sweet while being very sweet at the same time. I personally think the custard goes better.

Once you have your custard, go ahead and whip up some french toast.. take about 2 eggs and beat them in a bowl, add a little milk, vanilla, and cinnamon for a sweet delicious flavored french toast. The key to a good french toast is 1. the type of bread. and 2. how much you soak the bread. You want a sturdy bread, like sour dough or sliced Italian bread could even work. Simple store bought white bread normally doesn't hold very well. The other key part is you don't want your bread to completely soak. There is a fine line between french toast and bread pudding. Especially if you use a softer bread.

Now every sandwich has two pieces of bread, so make sure you have at least two pieces per person. You can continue to stack your "french toast sandwich" with as many layers as you like, I just used two.

Immediately after your breads are cooked, add you're custard/pudding to one slice of bread. A good spoonful or two covers it well. Add your fillings, I used strawberries because they are the fiance's favorite and I also had homemade strawberry syrup in the fridge I needed to use. Add another spoonful of custard to the top and put on the top layer. 


Add some syrup or powdered sugar and enjoy!


In my opinion it was quite delicious, we also had cheesy eggs and hashbrowns. With as sweet as the toast was, the salty sides made a perfect dish.

Enjoy =]
