I had a couple requests for this recipe via twitter…so here is my stuffed french toast recipe…actually, it’s not mine although I did alter it a bit. I got it from my mother in law who got it from one of her plethora of friends. =)

Stuffed French Toast

8 eggs
8 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup syrup
6 TB melted butter
loaf of french toast bread (the cinnamon kind is extra yummy)

Cube 1/2 of the loaf of bread and spread in the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan. Cut cream cheese and scatter over bread. Cover with the remaining bread. (I actually only save enough whole pieces of bread to cover the pan and tear up the rest) Mix egg, milk, syrup and butter. Pour over bread and press to soak. Bake 40-50 min at 350. Enjoy!

*Just a note…the first time I made this, I thought it was too dry, so I doubled the amount of the milk, syrup and butter…this seemed to be better

This might be a strange place for this, I don’t know. What I do know is that most of you who read my blog are friends/family, so maybe that makes it a bit less strange. Or maybe not. At any rate, I have a request.

In two weeks from now (first weekend of April) Josh and I are going to attempt to get away for the weekend….(Friday night and Saturday night). Currently we have a couple offers to take the boys overnight, but we do not yet have any solid offers for the girls. So I am wondering….is there anyone out there who might be willing/able to watch the girls overnight for a night or two that weekend? It would be probably easier on a number of levels if you were able/willing to stay overnight at our house but we would consider them going to someone else’s house overnight as well.

So what do you think? Any takers?
