Lorilyn's Deep Fried Stuffed French Toast Recipe - Breakfast.Food.com (2024)

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon almond extract
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 10 slices Texas toast thick bread (or other thick sliced bread)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¹⁄₈ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• oil (for frying)
• powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

directions

• In stand up mixer or in small bowl, combine cream cheese, almond extract and powdered sugar until fluffy.
• Fit a cake decorating bag with a large tip (star or round) and fill with cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
• Using a serrated bread knife, slice each piece of Texas Toast into half on the diagonal.
• Along the newly cut diagonal edge, use the tip of the knife to gently make a one inch slice into the center of the bread, making sure the slice runs parallel to the top and bottom of the bread.
• Insert the decorator tip into the opening & squeeze out about a teaspoon or so of filling. With a thumb & finger, gently pinch the opening to close it back up & cover the filling. (This could also be done with a ziplock baggie with a corner cut off, although not quite as easily.).
• In mixer or another medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt.
• Beat in milk and eggs until batter is smooth. Pour into deep wide bowl or into a pie plate, for dipping.
• Pre-heat deep fryer or griddle (about 350°) and when ready dip filled slices of bread into batter, turn once and place into fryer basket. (Mine will hold two slices at a time.)
• Fry 2 minutes or until lightly browned & crispy looking then turn each slice over with a pair of tongs and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until done.
• Remove with tongs to paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
• Repeat with the rest of the slices.
• Serve immediately (careful - filling is hot) with your choice of syrups, jams or jellies.
