Ingredients
6 1-inch-thick French bread slices(each about 3 x5 inches)
3/4 cup (about) peach preserves
6 Tbs. cream cheese, room temperature
6 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 Tbs. all purpose flour
1/2 cup fresh white breadcrumbs
1/2 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 edge (do not cut all the way through). Fill each with about 2 Tbs. jam and 1 Tbs. of 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 breadcrumb mixture, coating completely. Cook until golden, brushing skillet with oil between batches, about 2 minutes per side.
