If you love French toast, try this way to make it. Instead of a soft, eggy crust, make it with a crusty, almost crispy coating. It's delightful.
It's simple to make. Instead of dipping the bread in an ordinary egg wash, dip it in a batter made with egg and flour. It will be crispy, almost like a tempura batter.
The recipe that follows was developed by our friend and former employee, LouAnne Johnson who is an exceptional cook. It's for a cream cheese stuffed French toast but you can use it with everyday French toast too.
The filling includes cinnamon chips. They melt during cooking to create swirls of sweet cinnamon. There is a variation for a jam-swirled cream cheese filling also.
