Be still, my almond-loving heart. Do you love an almond croissant? Well, get ready for ALMOND STUFFED FRENCH TOAST!
*this recipe was created for Imperial Sugar
Rich almond cream is sandwiched between two pieces of brioche (I like Pepperidge Farm!), then dipped in a vanilla-almond egg batter and cooked until golden.
Dusted with a flurry of powdered sugar and garnished with toasted almonds and strawberries, Almond Stuffed French Toast is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch (Mother's Day, maybe?!?) – and it comes together in about 30 minutes!
More almond goodness...
How to Make Almond Stuffed French Toast
You'll need a few key ingredients:
For the bread, I like brioche, but any rich bread will do. A challah bread would be a great choice, too. Pepperidge Farm makes a lovely sliced brioche that's perfect for this. I probably wouldn't make this on pumpernickel.
Making almond-stuffed French toast is easy. Whip up a quick almond filling and whisk together the egg dipping mixture.
Spread the almond filling on half of the bread. Top with another slice of bread. Dip in the egg mixture and cook in a pan with melted butter until golden.
Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and top with strawberries and toasted almonds.
Raspberries or blackberries would be really nice here, too. In the height of summer, try peaches!
I'm sharing my recipe on Imperial Sugar today. Go get it and make it this weekend! (Was that bossy?)
