Stuffed French Toast

As seen on You Tube  Wyse Guide

Ingredients

For the French toast batter

• 6 1-inch slices French bread
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp orange juice concentrate
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ½ tsp cinnamon

For the mascarpone cheese filling

• ¼ cup mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese), room temperature
• zest of one medium lemon
• juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions 

• Beat the egg and add juice concentrate, cream, and cinnamon.
• In a separate bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, zest, juice, and sugar until light and fluffy and the sugar dissolves.
• To assemble toast, heat a heavy skillet over medium heat on the stove. For one serving, take two pieces of French bread (I use homemade but purchased bread will work well as well) and place them in the batter for 5-10 seconds. Take the bread out and spread 2-3 tablespoons of the mascarpone cheese filling on the dry side of one piece. Top with the other slice of bread, the dry side facing the cheese filling.
• Place assembled toast in a heated skillet for about 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown and the center cheese filling starts to ooze.
