A creamy, cranberry filling peeks out from tender slices of French toast. The raspberry sauce provides even more color and fruity flavor.

Ingredients

French Toast

  • 12 slices French bread, 1 1/2 inches thick
  • 2 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Raspberry Sauce

  • 1 package (10 oz) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cut almost through each bread slice, cutting from top crust to--but not through--bottom crust. In small bowl, stir together cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons marmalade and the cranberries. Open bread slices enough to spread 1 heaping tablespoon cheese mixture evenly on 1 cut surface of each slice. Press bread slices together. Place in baking dish.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, 1/4 cup sugar and the salt with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over bread; turn slices carefully to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • 3
    Heat oven to 425°F. Drizzle melted butter over bread. Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 4
    Meanwhile, drain juice from raspberries into 1-cup glass measuring cup; add enough water to measure 3/4 cup. In 1-quart saucepan, stir together juice mixture, cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons marmalade. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Cool 15 minutes. Stir in raspberries. Serve sauce with French toast.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Arrange the bread slices so they fit in a single layer in the pan. Once you pour the milk mixture over them, they’ll be more flexible.
  • tip 2
    Quickly thaw raspberries by removing the lid of the package and microwaving on High 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, stirring once.
  • tip 3
    Enjoy with bacon and/or sausage links and fresh fruit.
  • tip 4
    Assemble the French toast the night before. Prepare the sauce and put it in a microwavable serving dish; cover and refrigerate. Warm the sauce by microwaving on High 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
