the cream cheese

I’m crazy about cream cheese. I could eat it at every meal. Today, I had it for breakfast as the stuffing in my stuffed french toast. Tim and I both worked/studied from home all day, so we needed an out-of-the-ordinary meal to add some excitement to the day. I had a brick of cream cheese in the refrigerator that I bought at Market Basket for $1, so it became the inspiration for my breakfast creation.

Want to give it a try? Mix some softened cream cheese with the jam of your choice. Spread a nice, thick layer of the cream cheese/jam mixture on a slice of bread, and top it with a second slice to create a sandwich. Dunk the whole thing into your french toast batter — I used a mixture of two beaten eggs and a splash each of milk, vanilla, and orange oil. Then fry it up in a little butter on your pan. Top it off with cut strawberries and powdered sugar and you’ve got a breakfast that can’t be beat!
