French Toast Sandwiches with Apricot Preserves
This is a delicious, decadent breakfast treat that you might want to eat once in a while. Probably not every single morning, though the thought had crossed my mind.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf french bread, cut into slices
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- Apricot jam or preserves
- 2 TBSP Honey
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, honey, and half of the pecans. Set in the refrigerator to stay cool.
Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla. Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place the slices on the griddle and cook 2-3 minutes per side, depending on how high the temperature.
When they're finished, put one slice on your plate and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on it. Then complete the sandwich with the other slice. Top with apricot preserves and more chopped pecans.

Holy Moly Yummmoo!
I had something similar once at a bed and breakfast...but was orange marmalade and such....good recipe!!
Oh no, you didn't just say Yummo did you, Rachael? Well, that's OK, I guess. You provided your email address and I know who you are, so you are allowed to say Yummo. But just limit it to one per week. :)
Oh my goodness! I'm going to have to try that with the agave nectar instead of honey.
I used to live in Montclair and have Sunday brunches at Raymond's, a place that made the best French bread French toast. Mmmm. Thanks for the post!
