I wasn’t able to make up my mind on what to have for breakfast, maybe I wasn’t hungry, but I had to eat otherwise, I won’t be able to concentrate on my work. I thought, why not make Cream Cheese Jam Stuffed French Toast, and take some photos too.
Cream Cheese Jam Stuffed French Toast
Oh, the life of a food blogger! I don’t just think if I would like this breakfast, I have to also see if it will look good enough to become a post. At times, I feel that my blog is about to take over my life. I’m constantly thinking about new recipes and food styling.
Talking about food styling. There are days when I make a good-looking dish, but my brain acts stubborn and does not help me style my food. In the beginning, I used to struggle with my brain, try to convince it how important it is to help me make my dish look good (Yeah, I talk to my brain sometimes!).
Why am I ranting? I should tell you about the French toast right. Sorry, that was on my chest and now I feel better.
Back to the Cream Cheese Jam Stuffed French toast. This breakfast had everything I like, the custard gave this French toast the right fluffy, light, yet rich texture, the combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla gave it a great balanced flavor.
In my opinion, this French toast didn’t need the drizzling of honey, but if you like it sweet go ahead.
Follow me on Instagram, and if you happen to make any of my recipes, please post the picture and mention me in your post, or use this hashtag #munatycooking. I would love to see your creation.
As for my recipe, here you go!
Cream Cheese Jam Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Pinch of nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 slice of whole wheat bread
- Butter or oil for shallow frying
- **For the filling:
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jam or the flavor you like
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with brown sugar, then add the rest of the ingredients (except the bread) and mix well. Keep aside.
- In a different bowl, beat the filling until smooth. Keep aside.
- Dip the bread in the custard mixture and fry in a greased hot pan. When the bottom side is golden brown flip the bread.
- Spread half of the filling on the one bread while still on the pan. Place another slice on top and press gently. Do the same with the other two slices of bread.
- Make sure that both side of the bread is cooked.
- Sprinkle with roasted almonds, drizzle with honey and enjoy.

I love stuffed French toast, and that filling sounds delicious, Muna! I totally understand about food styling and photography, though. Sometimes I have the tastiest food sitting there on my plate, and I can't seem to make it look good for the life of me! This French toast looks amazing, though...well done! 🙂
