So, Mom's got a sweet tooth, huh? Then this stuffed French Toast, made with the Co-op Bakery's own Brioche, and a mixture of cream cheese and raspberries should garner approval. Brioche is a rich bread known for its high egg and butter content—making it ideal for French Toast... and regular toast... and eating straight out of the oven... and the bag when you get it home. You get the picture. Brioche rocks.
This recipe is easy to whip up, so you can enjoy even more time with Mom. It's what she would want.
TO MAKE THIS RECIPE YOU WILL NEED:
