French toast is good, but this Honey Ricotta Stuffed French Toast is even better!
It only looks and sounds fancyyou can whip this up in less than a half hour.
(I find it to be too sweet.)

And you dont have to make a huge stack of slices to be satisfied.
One big stuffed slice per person is plenty.
Cutting it thicker makes it much easier to work with!

There are many different options when it comes to French bread.
You might see some artisan loaves or long thin baguettes.
Its the kind of loaf you might use for a huge sub sandwich for a party.

The Honey Ricotta Filling
The best part is the filling.
Youre going to love this dish!
The key is to ensure you cut your slices thick enoughabout 1 1/2 inches thick.

Then use a thin serrated knife, like a steak knife, to cut a slit in the bread.
It should be a nice clean pocket and try not to tear up the bread too much.
(But if there are a few holes, its okay.

They will seal shut during cooking.)
You want to cook these slices at a lower heat than you would normally with French toast.
They are super thick.
Nick Evans
So err on the side of lower heat.

Cut the loaf at an angle to make larger pieces.
Dont use the ends of the loaf, as they are too small.
attempt to avoid tearing holes in the bread, but it’s ok if you do.
Divide the ricotta filling among the four pieces of bread.
You should be able to get about 1/4 cup of filling in each piece.
Its okay if some overflows.
Use a small spoon to help fill the slices without making too much of a mess.
In a large griddle or flat-bottomed skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Move the bread straight to the hot griddle or skillet.
Sear the edges of the French toast as well to ensure they are cooked.
I like a big handful of berries on each piece as well.
Leftovers dont keep well.
The pieces get soggy.
So only make as many as you plan to serve!
