Raspberry "Cheesecake" French Toast

Happy Friday, Friends from Cocoa Beach, Florida where I got to see another glorious sunrise over the ocean, and where I got to have Snow White Prawns at Yen Yen's last night!! Holy Moly were they ever DELISH!! Anyhoo, this one is one to keep in mind - you can whip up the mother of all French toast to celebrate Mom this May 8th!!
(serves 4)

6 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 t. good* vanilla
3 T. raspberry jam
1/2 cup whole* milk
2 large eggs
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
8 (1/2" thick) slice brioche bread
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Cooking spray (coconut oil*)
Confectioners' sugar
Warm real* maple syrup

With the mixer on med. speed, beat the cream cheese with the vanilla til smooth. Stir in the raspberry jam. In a large shallow dish, whisk the milk, eggs, and cinnamon. Spread the cheese mixture on one side of the brioche. Dived the raspberries among 4 slices; top with remaining slices pressing to make 4 sammies. Heat a 12" skillet on med; spray with cooking spray. Dip sandwiches into egg mixture, turning to soak both sides. Place 2 sammies in skillet; cook 2-3 mins. per side or until golden brown Transfer to a plate; keep warm in a 200 degree oven while cooking the remaining sandwiches. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve with warm syrup and either uncured bacon or sausage. Oh, and maybe a mimosa!!

Tell the people in your life that you love and appreciate them, and have FUN today!!

Love,

MM
