Jam-Filled French Toast
A mixture of jam and cream cheese produces a pleasantly creamy and not-too-sweet filling. Feel free to swap other flavors of jam for the apricot used here, or fresh berries for the tropical fruit salad.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Using a paring knife, cut a horizontal slit in each bread slice to form a pocket. Stir together jam and cream cheese. Spoon 1 tablespoon mixture into each pocket.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon until combined. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Working in batches of two, lay bread slices in egg mixture, letting them soak 5 seconds on each side.
Step 3
Lift slices, letting excess drip back into bowl, and place in skillet; cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat, adding remaining tablespoon butter to skillet. Serve immediately with syrup, bacon, and fruit salad, as desired.
