The Recipe…

Mash the goat cheese and 1 pint of raspberries together. Then add the powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Crack eggs into a large bowl and mix with milk and vanilla. Make sure eggs are completely mixed.

Cut thick slices of bread about 2 inches thick. Now using a paring knife, cut a hole in the center of one side (through the crust) making sure not to go through the top or bottom. Try to get a pocket all the way to the crust on the other side. You are creating a pocket to put the goat cheese mixture in.

I find that it is easier to pipe the cheese mixture into the pocket. If you do not have a piping bag, use a small spoon and gently fill the pocket. Dredge the filled bread in the egg bowl one at a time making sure to soak well.

Heat a large sauté pan and add 2 tablespoons of butter. When butter is melted add two slices of bread at a time so the pan is not overloaded. Brown on one side and then flip and brown the other. Keep the heat on medium, you want to make sure you cook the egg all the way through and not scorch the bread. Serve with fresh berries and your choice of syrup, raspberry, maple, caramel, sauce.

Recipe Tips:

• You could use other fresh berries such as blackberries, blueberries, strawberries.
• I like to use fresh berries, but you could use frozen berries just be careful they can make the cheese mixture loose with their added  water content.

‍

Make Ahead:

• You can make the stuffed French toast ahead of time and not cook until you are ready to serve. I would not cook and hold though. It will get soggy.
• This recipe is great for a make ahead idea for holidays or when you have guests.
