Try something new with your French toast. Add strawberry cream cheese and strawberry jam between 2 slices of French toast for a delicious breakfast or brunch that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Instead of strawberry jam, use your favorite jam or jelly. Serve with maple or fruit syrup, preserves or whipped cream. Instead of sandwiches, make Stuffed French Toast Pockets. Slice French bread into four 1 1/2 inch (4 cm) thick slices. Cut a slit into each slice of bread without cutting all the way through. Combine cream cheese and jam and spread mixture one-quarter of the mixture into each pocket. Continue with recipe as described above.
