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 clicks 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.

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! 🙂
Ohhhh I just got up and this is the first thing I look at. Not a good idea. Lol. Making me hungry. I’ve never thought of using cream cheese like in stuffed in fresh toast. Great idea.
