- Strawberry Peach Stuffed French Toast
By Brett Moore, About.com
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
* 1 Large Ripe Peach, peeled and pit removed
* 1 Pint Strawberries, stem removed and diced small
* 4 Ounces Cream Cheese, soft
* 1 Tablespoon Sugar
* 1 Tablespoon Grand Marnier (Optional)
* 1 Loaf of Brioche, Challah, or White Bread, unsliced
* 3 Large Eggs
* 1 1/4 Cups Milk
* 1 Tablespoon Sugar
* 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
* 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
* Butter and Vegetable Oil for frying
* Maple Syrup
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Filling Cut one half of the peach into 1/4 inch slices and set aside for topping later. Dice the other half of the peach into small cubes (about 1/4"). Mash together with a fork or mixer the diced peach and strawberries, 1 Tbl sugar, cream cheese, and the Grand Marnier (if you are using it).
Cut the bread into 1 inch slices. Using a serrated knife, cut a pocket in the side of each slice of bread. Try to make the pocket as deep as possible without cutting through the other side.
Place 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into each pocket.
Batter In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and 1 Tbl sugar.
Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place two or three slices of bread in the batter and let soak for 5 seconds. Flip over and soak again for 5 seconds. Remove the bread from the batter and place on a plate. Let the bread stand for 1 minute so the batter can soak in. Add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan.
Place the soaked bread into the hot pan. When you have all the slices in the pan, start soaking the next three pieces as described before.
Cook each side until a light golden brown. Place on a cookie sheet or wire rack. When all the pieces have been fried, place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and top each serving with sliced peaches. Serve with maple syrup. - cream cheese stuffed french toast

========= - french toast origin
- The Origin of the French toast
The popular history behind French toast (aka German toast, American toast, Spanish toast) is that it was was created by medieval European cooks who needed to use every bit of food they could find to feed their families. They knew old, stale bread (French term *pain perdu* literally means *lost bread*) could be revived when moistened and heated. Cooks would have added eggs for additional moisture and protein. Medieval recipes for "french toast" also suggest this meal was enjoyed by the wealthy. Cook books at this time were written by and for the wealthy. These recipes used white bread (the very finest, most expensive bread available at the time) with the crusts cut off, something a poor, hungry person would be unlikely to do.
Actually, recipes for "french toast" can be traced Ancient Roman times. One of the original French names for this dish is pain a la Romaine', or Roman bread. Apicius wrote: "Another sweet dish: Break [slice] fine white bread, crust removed, into rather large pieces which soak in milk [and beaten eggs] Fry in oil, cover with honey and serve." ---Apicius Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome, edited and translated by Joseph Dommers Vehling , recipe 296 (p. 172)
"This dish does have its origins in France, where it is known as "ameritte" or *pain perdu* ("lost bread"), a term that has persisted, in Creole and Cajun cookery; in Spain it is called "torriga" and in England "Poor Knights of Windsor," which is the same name for the dish in Denmark, "arme riddere," and Germany, "arme ritter." At one time or another in America it has been referred to as "Spanish," "German," or "nun's toast," and its first appearance in print as "French Toast" was in 1871. "
---The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John F. Mariani (p. 134)
"In the south of France, it was traditionally eaten on feast days, particularly at Easter."
---Larousse Gastronomique, Jenifer Harvey Lang (p. 474)
