Looking to up your brunch game? Try this decadent Marzipan Stuffed French Toast recipe filled with marzipan cream cheese is perfect for brunch, lunch, or dessert!
- 8 slices bread
- 5 oz cream cheese room temp
- 3 oz marzipan extra fine log
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp Torani White Chocolate Sauce
- 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Blanched almonds
-
Place 1/4 cup of almonds in a small pan over medium low heat. Move the almonds around so they don't burn. Once the almonds turn lightly golden remove them from the heat.
-
Place marzipan in a medium microwave safe bowl in microwave for about 20 seconds.
-
Add room temperature cream cheese in the bowl with the marzipan and cream together on low with a hand mixer.
-
Add a pinch of salt, sugar, and almond extract.
-
With a spatula or butter knife, spread a thick layer of cream cheese filling on one piece of bread.
-
Place the other bread on top to make a sandwich.
-
In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and almond extract. You can also use a hand mixer. Shallow bowl works best so you have room to dip. I wouldn't advise using a small bowl.
-
Dip filled sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure all sides are coated. Don't keep them in the mixture too long or the bread will get too soggy.
-
Melt butter over medium low heat and place egg soaked sandwiches in warmed pan.
-
Cook about 4-5 minutes per side. Cook until golden brown.
-
Place stuffed French toast on a plate or platter and add toppings. Sift powdered sugar over top of toast, sprinkle blanched almonds, and pour Torani White Chocolate Sauce on top.
-
Serve with fresh strawberries, applesauce, or Greek yogurt.
