BAKED FRENCH TOAST
9 slices bread (slightly stale is best) 1/2 cup (approximately) P.B.Loco Sumatra Cinnamon & Raisin Peanut Butter 1/4 cup (approximately) Cream cheese (spreadable variety) 2 Granny Smith apples 4 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup sugar 6 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 4 oz. walnuts (optional) 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Cut 3 slices of bread in half. Spread P.B.Loco Sumatra Cinnamon & Raisin Peanut Butter over three of the six half slices and over three of the other six slices. Spray a glass pyrex dish with non-stick oil and put the peanut-buttered slices on the bottom of it, peanut butter side-up so that the bottom of the dish is covered with bread (the three whole slices should go the length of the pan and the three 1/2 slices should fill in the remaining width of the pan). Slice one of the Granny Smith apples into 1/8 - 1/4 slices and place on top of the peanut-buttered slices. Spread cream cheese on the remaining half and whole slices of bread and place on top of the apple slices, cream cheese side down to make a "sandwich" with each slice of bread. Combine eggs, milk, white sugar, vanilla and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Brush the tops of the "sandwiches" with the egg batter and fill in the spaces between the sandwiches with the remaining amount of mixture. Be sure not to pour the mix directly over the sandwiches because they will be too soggy to bake properly.
Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. While dish is baking, combine butter, brown sugar, walnuts, and remaining apple slices (also cut into 1/8" - 1/4" slices) in a pan and saute.
After 20 minutes, remove the egg dish and spread the butter/sugar/apple/walnut mixture over the top of the dish. Bake for an additional 25-35 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving and remind guests that the peanut butter inside the dish may be very hot.
APPLE CINNAMON-RAISIN STUFFED FRENCH TOAST
5 tablespoons P.B.Loco Cinnamon & Raisin Peanut Butter 6 Granny Smith apple slices (thinly sliced) 2 slices of bread 1 egg 1/3 cup milk
Preparation: Spread the Cinnamon & Raisin peanut butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Place the apple slices on the peanut butter of one of the slices of bread. Whisk the egg and the milk in a bowl large enough to dip the bread. Put the two slices of bread together with the peanut butter sides of the bread facing each other so the apple slices are sandwiched in between. Dip the "sandwich" into the milk/egg mixture and grill.
