It’s Wednesday already, which means you’re probably already planning on how you’ll spend your weekend. I always look forward to sleeping in Saturday mornings and treating myself to huge breakfast when I finally roll out of bed. But instead of my usual pancakes, eggs, bacon, and tall glass of orange juice, I’m going to give this newest Philly recipe idea a try. I’m sure after one bite, I’ll be happy I rose and I’ll definitely be shining.

 

Philly’s Stuffed French Toast

8 slices French bread or white bread

Batter:
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling:
1 1/2 cups cream cheese
1/8 cup orange juice (optional)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

COMBINE cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in small bowl.

MIX ingredients for filling and beat until smooth

HEAT butter over medium heat till melted. Whisk together cinnamon mixture, eggs, milk, and vanilla and pour into a shallow container such as a pie plate. Dip bread in egg mixture. Fry slices until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.

SERVE by plating one slice of French Toast, then add filling, and cover with another piece of French Toast.

These sweet rolls are delightful when served with a cup of flavored coffee. The slightly sour center filling is a nice contrast to the sweetness of the glaze. You can try replacing the lemon and 1\2 tsp vanilla if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Use frozen bread dough if you don't have enough time to make it from scratch.


3/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp. milk, divided
10 Tbsp.  butter or margarine, divided
2 tsp. lemon juice, divided
3-1/2 cups  flour, divided
3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 pkg.  (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1-3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar

Mix 2 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, the yeast and salt in large bowl. Add milk mixture; beat with electric mixer on medium speed 2 min. Add 3 of the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in enough of the remaining 1-1/2 cups flour to form soft dough.

PLACE dough on lightly floured surface; knead 5 min. or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl. Melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter; brush onto dough. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in volume. Punch down dough. Place on floured surface; roll out to 18x12-inch rectangle. Sprinkle with pecans. Roll up from 1 of the long ends; press edges together to seal. Cut into 18 (3/4-inch-thick) slices. Place, 1 inch apart, on greased baking sheets; flatten each into 4-inch circle. Cover; let rise in warm place 45 min. or until doubled in volume.
