So easy to make and really delicious! I didn't have the exact ingredients so I used whole wheat bread, an egg, vanilla extract, almond milk, regular cream cheese, and seedless strawberry jam for one serving. YUM!

We didn't have raspberry jelly so we used pumpkin butter. It was great!

Very impressive recipe. My guests are always wowed! So easy to make too. I like to use fresh oat/grain bread from my local bakery. I let the sandwiches soak a minute or so in the egg mixture, otherwise they turn out too dry for my tastes if I do a quick dip. I'm not a big fan of sweet breakfasts, so this is right up my alley. Not very sweet at all! The almond extract is a nice touch! The last time I made this, I topped the french toast with strawberries that were macerated with a bit of brown sugar and amaretto. SO GOOD!!!

Made this but did not have cream cheese. I got the bright idea to use ice-cream instead and I was surprised by how good it tasted and the fact that the ice-cream did not melt completely! Amazing, love, love, love it

Awesome base recipe, especially using the oatnut bread: perfect amount of crunch and substance for an otherwise decadent breakfast! I substituted fatfree sour cream with lemon zest, cinnamon, stevia, and nutmeg for the filling and opted for fresh fruit on the side rather than the jam. I also left out the almond extract, but only bc my husband isn't a fan. I've tried a few different toast "stuffing" techniques that all turned out kind of ugly and messy... this one is the SIMPLEST and most successful solution! SANDWICH! DUH! Why didn't I think of that?!

I loved it! I used thick slices of stone oven white bread, and I added a mixture of vanilla, cinnamon and sugar to the batter as well as the almond extract. I used fresh raspberries in place of jam and drizzled them with golden syrup. Super delicious, I am going to be trying this with lots of different flavor combinations. I think I will try lingonberry jam with some grand marnier mixed into the cream cheese!

I bought Philadelphia's white chocolate cream cheese spread at the store yesterday, so when I saw this recipe I thought I'd try it with a switch. I spread the wc cream cheese onto both slices of bread. To keep from being to sweet, I used frozen raspberries I had on hand instead of the jam. I then double-dipped into the egg batter; delicious!

This was delicious! I used peaches instead of raspberry jam and added some other yummy breakfast spices. That oatnut bread was PERFECT with the Almond extract! Will be making this again and again!
