French Toast Extraordinaire

Features:
    Cuisine:

    The french toast came out very very soggy, and everything kept falling apart.
    If you make it, try to only use a little jam and a little cream cheese, and be prepared for it to fall apart. Try not to soak it too long - just the outside, so the "sandwich" doesn't become a soggy nasty mess.

    French Toast Extraordinaire, This recipe is from Executive Chef Joshua Schwartz of The French Laundry in Yountville, California; one of the best restaurants in the United States (voted #3 in the world) I could not find tomato jam the first time I made the recipe and used seedless raspberry jam, it was outstanding When I happened upon a jar of tomato jam at a specialty store, I remembered this recipe and purchased it again outstanding! I guess there is a reason he is one of the top chefs in the world Note: Adjust milk as needed as different types of bread absorb more or less I start out with half the mixture and add as needed , The french toast came out very very soggy, and everything kept falling apart If you make it, try to only use a little jam and a little cream cheese, and be prepared for it to fall apart Try not to soak it too long – just the outside, so the sandwich doesn’t become a soggy nasty mess , My DH is in love with stuffed French toast from IHOP — I have been looking for a recipe that is similar and this one came pretty close! Both he and I enjoyed it! used regular white bread instead of the french bread suggested and it did not hold up well Next time I will use a thicker slice of bread as the recipe indicates! Great recipe, thanks for posting!!
