French Recipe : Stuffed French Toast I

Serve warm with a dollop of orange marmalade on the top and a good cup of coffee. Even though orange marmalade isn't a particularly popular preserve in my area of the country, it really makes this special. You can replace the liqueur with any flavored liquid non-dairy coffee creamer.

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 4 eggs
• ¼ cup Irish cream liqueur
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ⅓ cup orange marmalade

Cooking Directions

1. Slice the French bread on a slant, giving each side of the slice a nice surface area. Slice the brick of cream cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices. Make a slit in each slice of French bread through the crust to form a pocket. Place a slice of cream cheese in each pocket; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat together eggs, Irish cream liqueur, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. Melt butter in a griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Briefly dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and place on the griddle. Brown on both sides and serve warm with a dollop of orange marmalade on top.
