Strawberry Amaretto French Toast

1 loaf French bread
1 basket fresh strawberries or equal amount frozen, drained
1 bottle Amaretto
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 dash nutmeg
Confectioners' sugar

The night before serving, soak strawberries in ample amount of Amaretto.

The next morning, slice bread into 2-inch slices, then slice each slice almost through.

Spread insides of bread with cream cheese. Add some strawberries and Amaretto in center; half shut with wooden pick. Mix eggs, water and nutmeg to make dip for bread.

Dip bread (filled) into eggs and fry lightly in hot skillet with a little butter. Remove toast and add any remaining strawberries and juice to top of toast and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Serves 8.
