Oh no! Two weeks in a row without Dinner Tonight, that just can’t happen. Today was spent recovering from a late night of drinking, poker and Wii Golf. And not to mention heading to the restaurant for the annual breakfast, where I made some pancakes and a modified version of my stuffed French toast. Now there are a lot of varying versions of this dish, and I’ve tried them all. For me the simple formula of the toast and fruit in the cream cheese is the best one. That and my homemade simple syrup has turned this into a classic at home. At least for me, my wife doesn’t always enjoy it because well…stuffed French toast just sounds like something you should probably avoid eating.
So this morning I made myself a version that used the thin white bread and ingredients on hand. But I won’t share that version with you this time around. This particular recipe calls for seasonal fruits, and that means you can add whatever you want. Really anything you’d enjoy in pancakes would work well. I particularly like strawberries in the filling. They can get a bit mushy if you’re not careful, so a heartier fruit like banana can make a good replacement.
Finally you need thick bread. Really thick. As in take the thickness of bread you’d normally have for French toast and increase it by at least a half inch. If you’re going to have stuffed French toast then you might as well go all out.
Next week we should be back to basics with Dinner Tonight, but for this week I think you should do what my family often did and enjoy Breakfast Tonight.
