I must have been living on a different planet because up until this week I’ve never had stuffed French toast. You may be reading this wondering, “So what? What’s the big deal?” I’ll tell you what the big deal is: I am a self professing lover of all things French toast and this recent discovery was a revelation to me (cue in the dramatic music). How is it possible I have never tried this amazing variation of one of my most favorite foods? I tell you, it’s a great mystery. If you love French toast like I do, you are going to love this recipe!
But here’s the deal. The recipe isn’t here. It’s somewhere else, somewhere special. I’ll give you a clue……
The recipe is over at Tasty Kitchen where I am guest posting today for the TK Blog! If you’re not familiar with Tasty Kitchen let me fill you in. Tasty Kitchen is a community recipe site where members, such as myself, contribute our favorite recipes for everyone to enjoy. This site was started last year by The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, and has grown enormously since its inception. You’ll find a lot of great recipes over there as well as the opportunity to participate in a laid back but fun loving food community. So please, do yourself a favor and check out this recipe as well as the Tasty Kitchen site. You won’t regret either…I promise!
PS: If you thought I posted a lot of photos on Savory Sweet Life, you should see how many I posted over there today. Its insanely ridiculous! However, I couldn’t help myself. After all, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” <–Some of you will get this joke.. others of you won’t. But go visit the site today and enjoy the recipe for Stuffed French Toast!
<<Many thanks to Amanda from I AM BAKER whose recipe I re-created for this post. She is an amazing baker and food blogger! If you’re looking for cake decorating inspiration, she’s your gal! Thanks Amanda!>>

I must be orbiting on the same planet because I’ve never had it either! After this post I will be shortly.
somehow I also missed out on the stuffed french toast, your version looks incredibly colorful and tasty, a good recipe to start with
Oh, yeah, I’m making this tonight!
This is making me hungry! Fantastic photos
That looks so absolutely delicious!!
Oh my goodness that looks fabulous! I can’t wait to try the recipe out.
I found you via The Pioneer Woman. Just checked out your tutorial on making buttercream pansies (with your sister). Wonderful! Exactly what I needed to know. Next time I make cupcakes I’m going to try it. Do you use gel paste — which I don’t have, but could go and buy — or is it OK to use the liquid McCormick drops I buy at the supermarket?
Hi Maria,
Yes you can use traditional coloring. Hope this helps.
This looks so amazing – your photos are terrific and I can’t wait to try this.
Mouth watering deliciousness – thank you once again, Alice!
What is it about spring that brings out the breakfast baking in so many of us? This looks awesome, Alice. I love the sweet shot of all your ingredients laid out…was looking for something to bring over to my mom’s for mother’s day this weekend. Wonder if this would travel well in the car for a half hour or so??
Linked to your site via PW… Love love love the post
I have to eat this now… and its 2 in the morning!
Wow, those look so much better than the stuffed french toast at IHOP, that’s for sure. Thank you for the tip on grilling fish to prevent sticking! I am looking forward to trying your recipes.
Yummy recipe! I’ve never actually had stuffed French toast, but I always eye it up on menus (and then talk myself out of it for some crazy reason).
Thanks for sharing this Alice! I happened to have this recipe up on on my laptop and my husband saw it (I was really hinting or anything!), so he decided to make it for me on Mother’s Day morning! Yum!
During the weekends…Breakfast or if the meal is big enough…Brunch…is quite a big deal. Hubby and I take turns treating ourselves to wonderful dishes. We’ve made French toast in many ways…especially stuffed! Unlike your very interesting recipe (which I’ve taken note of to impress Hubby with next time)…I make a spirited (in other words-boozy) buttery flavoured fruit stovetop mix to accomodate the baked French toast.
In conclusion…these toasts, especially accompanied with quality maple syrup…will go a long way to starting our day off right on the weekends;)
Thanks for sharing your lovely version…and flavourful wishes, Claudia
