This was not nearly as sweet as it looks. The cream
cheese muted the sweetness, and the saltiness of the bacon really balanced out
and brought everything together. It was perfect.
I have to admit that I got the idea for this recipe from
my father-in-law. We visited my husband's mother and her husband for brunch one
day and he made us French toast stuffed with peanut butter and cream cheese. He
topped it with butter and maple syrup. I was blown away!
Later, I was introduced to cookie butter. Ever since
that, life altering, moment I have been exploring ways to use the stuff. Other
than right from the spoon, which it totally fine, and blissful!

Cookie Butter & Cream Cheese Stuffed
French Toast w/ Bacon and Blackberry Syrup
Ingredients:
For Toast:
- 1 loaf thin sliced French bread (or whatever you like)
-8 oz. brick cream cheese (I always use Kraft
Philadelphia Regular/Original, to me there is no substitute)
- 8 to 10 oz. Biscoff Spread, crunchy (I used equal parts
cream cheese to cookie butter, but it is all up to you)
For Toast Batter:
-6 to 8 large eggs (I used my pullet eggs; they are
pretty small so I used 10)
-1/4 c. whole milk
-1 Tbsp. vanilla
For Topping:
-store purchased blackberry syrup (warmed in microwave
for ~ 45 seconds)
-12 oz. bacon (layered on paper towels and cooked until
slightly crisp in microwave, about 9-10 minutes. Chop)
-1 to 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar (staged in a small mesh strainer
for dusting)
Spread one side each of two slices of bread with cream
cheese and cookie butter. Sandwich together. Repeat with all bread. Set sandwiches
aside. Beat eggs, milk, and vanilla together until well combined. Dip
sandwiches into egg batter and fry in a large, greased, skillet on medium high
heat for 2-3 three minutes, until golden brown, on each side. Store cooked
French toast in a 170 degree oven until all French toast is cooked. To serve:
Place cooked French toast slices on a plate, top with chopped bacon and
blackberry syrup. Dust with powdered sugar. EAT, EAT, EAT!
