Having the same old french toast for breakfast?
Well, jazz it up and make it special with a ricotta cream filling. As your frying the french toast you can see the creamy filling drip from the sides, then your mouth starts to water.

French Toast filled with Ricotta Cream


Ingredients:

12 slices of Texas toast bread
4 eggs
1/2  cup whipping cream (liquid, I used heavy cream)

Filling

1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese (I used whole milk)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tbsp Stevia (or sugar of your choice)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp vanilla

oil or butter (for frying)

Filling ingredients

In a large bowl beat whipping cream until thick then add ricotta, stevia, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat until mixed well (my cream was a little loose because I beat it by hand with a whisk, you can use a hand mixer, counter top mixer or whisk).
Heat a large skillet or grill on medium heat.
In a medium bowl whisk together eggs and cream.
Place a pat of butter in the frying pan.

Egg Mixture

Filling spread on one side of bread

Bubbling goodness!

Take a slice of bread, spread a table spoon of cream mixture over one side. Now place another piece of bread over the cream (so it looks like a sandwich).  Take the whole sandwich dip in the egg mixture, flip from one side to the other to get coated. Let excess egg mixture drip down in the bowl, then place in frying pan. Fry until golden brown on each side or until done.

You can plate these individually or on a platter.

Remember, have fun and make it yours.
