Mixed fruit and Cheese stuffed French Toast

This recipe was inspired by the recent Modern Family episode in which Mitchell prepared a PB and J for Cameron: Pear, Brie and Jambon (Ham!). This inspired me to raid my fridge for similar flavors. I found Strawberries and Blueberries with Blue cheese horseradish sauce (from earlier steak recipe), and smoked Salami! That was the closest I could get but I think Peach, Gorgonzola and Procuitto, or veggie option Pesto, Smoked Mozz. and Tomato would be amazing variations.

Serves 2
For french toast:
4 slices multi-grain bread
2 eggs
1 T heavy cream
1 T milk
1 tsp. ground Cinnamon

Soak bread pieces in egg/cream/milk/cinnamon mixture and fry in pan with 1 T. melted butter. Remove from heat before fully browned and stuff with filling.

For filling:
Layer on top of cooked french toast to make 1 sandwich:
1 tb. Blue Cheese horseradish sauce (from steak recipe on this blog...reserved in fridge and spread on warm french toast)
3 slices smoked Salami
1/4 c. sliced strawberries and blueberries
1/4 c. arugala
top with 1/4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Place 2nd piece of cooked french toast on top of stack and pan fry until cheese is melted. Flip to brown other side. Serve with maple syrup to taste.

Happy Brunching.
