Ingredients

For the french toast

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 8 slices of brioche bread (can substitute challah or a different type of egg bread)
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the filling

  • 8 ounces of cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds

For serving

  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • maple syrup
  • Optional garnish: mint sprigs

Instructions

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla.
  • Preheat a griddle to medium.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter on the griddle.
  • Soak 4 slices of bread in the batter and place on the griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  • Wipe the griddle clean with a paper towel and repeat the process with the remaining tablespoon of butter and 4 slices of bread.
  • While the french toast is cooking, make the cream cheese filling.
  • Place the cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined.
  • Cut the slices of french toast in half diagonally.
  • On 4 plates place 1 slice of french toast. Top each slice of toast with approximately 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling, then top with 2 tablespoons of raspberries and 1 tablespoon of almonds.
  • Place the second piece of french toast on top of each stack. Repeat with remaining french toast.
  • Garnish each stack with approximately 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds, 2 tablespoons of raspberries and remaining cream cheese filling. Top with mint sprigs if using. Serve with maple syrup.

Notes

  1. I used brioche but challah or any other egg bread would also be great. You could also use a fluffy French bread or Texas toast.
  2. You can use any chopped almonds; however, I often used honey roasted chopped almonds for a little extra flavor.
  3. Feel free to purchase pre-chopped almonds or chop your own almonds.
