Ooh La La! Breakfast
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (12 ounce) jar apricot preserves
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 bottle champagne
- Peach Schnapps
Instructions
- Beat together the cream cheese and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fluffy; stir in nuts and set aside.
- Cut bread into 10 to 12 (1 1/2 inch) slices. Cut a pocket in the top of each. Fill each with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cheese mixture. Beat together eggs, whipping cream, the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and the nutmeg. Using tongs, dip the filled bread slices in the egg mixture, being careful not to squeeze out the filling. Cook on a lightly greased griddle until both sides are brown. Keep slices warm in oven.
- Heat together the preserves and juice, drizzle over hot French bread. Serve with bacon and Peach Champagne Cocktails.
Notes
Peach Champagne Cocktails: Put 2 tablespoons peach Schnapps into a fluted glass, then fill with champagne.
