Apple Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the apples:
1 tablespoon dairy free butter spread
2 apples, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For the cheesecake filling:
4 ounces GO VEGGIE Plain Cream Cheese
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For the french toast:
3 eggs
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Additional butter for greasing the griddle/skillet
8 slices of bread
Instructions
To make the apples:
Heat butter spread in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Stir and cook until apples are softened, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the cheesecake filling:
In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
To make the french toast:
Preheat a non-stick skillet/griddle to medium-high heat. You want it hot and ready so you can place your french toast sandwiches immediately on the skillet after you dip them in the egg mixture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on four slices of bread.
Top with sautéed apples, and then top with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
Grease your griddle/skillet with cooking spray or butter. I just like to put about a tablespoon of butter on while it's hot and move it around to get the entire griddle greased.
Dip the sandwich in the egg/milk mixture on both sides. Let excess egg/milk mixture drip off and then place immediately on skillet/griddle.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, powdered, sugar, or honey.
Enjoy!
