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 Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds

For serving

  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped Blue Diamond Honey Roasted 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.
