Ingredients
6 1-inch- thick French bread slices (about 5 x 3 inches)
¾ cup (about) peach preserves
6 Tbs. cream cheese, room temperature
6 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 Tbs. all purpose flour
½ cup fresh white breadcrumbs
½ cup packed golden brown sugar
1 Tbs. ground cinnamon
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
Maple syrup
Preparation
Cut each bread slice horizontally to within 1 inch of the edge (do not cut all the way through). Fill each with about 2 tablespoons jam and 1 tablespoon cream cheese. Whisk eggs, milk and flour in medium bowl to blend. Stir breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon in another medium bowl.
Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush with oil. Working in batches, dip each bread slice into egg mixture, then into breadcrumbs mixture, coating completely. Cook until golden, brushing skillet with oil between batches, about 2 minutes per side. Divide French toast among 6 plates.
