Winnipeg mom Opal Arndt often makes this creative breakfast for her family. Jam adds instant flavour and easily holds the layers of soft bread together in her quick and simple version of stuffed French toast.
Ingredients
8 slices soft bread, (Texas toast or egg bread is ideal)
6 tbsp raspberry jam, or apricot jam
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp grated lemon rind
pinch salt
1 tbsp butter, plus more as needed
To serve
icing sugar
maple sugar
Instructions
Make 4 sandwiches using the 8 slices of bread, and about 1 1/2 tbsp jam for each. Spread jam right to the edges, then cut each sandwich into 3 strips.
Beat together the eggs, milk, lemon rind and a pinch of salt. Dip each sandwich strip into the egg mixture to coat.
Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, and adding more butter as needed, fry strips for 2 min per side or until golden.
Sprinkle with icing sugar, or serve with maple syrup for dipping.
