List of Ingredients

CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY FILLED FRENCH TOAST

2 (1-inch thick) diagonal slices of day-old French bread
1-1/2 ounces miniature chocolate chips
1/4 cup strawberry preserves
2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
Grated zest of 1 orange
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash cinnamon

Cut through each slice of bread horizontally to form a pocket, not cutting all the way through. Stuff half of the chocolate chips and half of the strawberry preserves into each pocket along with one tablespoon of softened cream cheese.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Add the filled bread and allow to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. In a heavy skillet or griddle, heat butter until the foam subsides. Add bread, turning frequently until crisp and golden. Transfer to heated places and dust with powdered sugar.

Yield: 2 servings

Serve with MANDARIN ORANGE STRAWBERRY SAUCE (see recipe below).
