Stuffed Cinnamon Swirl Bread French Toast

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 slices Thomas® Cinnamon Swirl Bread
  • 1 cup basic French toast batter
  • 2 tbsp bacon crumbles, crisped
  • 2 pats salted butter

Instructions

  1. Mix together whipped cream cheese and maple syrup in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat a medium sized frying pan over medium heat and melt half of the butter. Meanwhile, dunk each piece of Swirl Bread in French toast batter and place on top of the melted butter. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until the bread begins to turn golden. Flip each slice of Swirl Bread and add the remaining butter to the pan and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until equally as golden.
  3. Remove from heat and smear the maple whipped cream cheese onto one slice of toast. Add the crumbled bacon and place the remaining slice of French toast on top. Serve immediately with syrup if desired.
