For a lazy Sunday, stuffed French toast is a great way to enjoy a brunch. Normally I use my wife’s homemade bread, but she has been busy with school and had not had a chance to make bread.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices whole wheat bread
• Cream cheese softened
• 4 eggs
• 1.5 cups half and half cream
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (for crunch)
• 4 oz maple syrup
• 1 oz bourbon
• 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Steps:

• Warm the maple syrup.
• Mix the maple syrup and bourbon together and set aside.

• Spread the cream cheese on the wheat bread
• Put the covered slices together like you were making a sandwich
  • Set aside

• Cinnamon Toast Crunch (One of my favorite cereals)
  • Crush and put onto a plate

• This would be a good time to place the cast-iron pan on the stove and heat to medium.

• Beat the eggs with the half and half until thoroughly mixed
• Add to the egg mixture the cinnamon and sugar
  • Set aside
• Take the sandwich you made with the cream cheese and bread and dip it into the egg mixture. Make sure to coat both sides with the egg mixture.
• Take the egg covered bread and place it in the crushed mixture of the cereal. Make sure to completely coat the bread with the cereal.

• In the preheated pan, add the butter and coat the bottom of the pan.
• Place the covered sandwiches in the pan.

• Cook until golden brown, then flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.

• Slice and serve with the warmed bourbon maple syrup.

Enjoy with a nice cup of coffee.
