3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS
Stuffed French Toast
Cut across the top-crust side of the bread and cut a pocket in each slice.
In a small mixing bowl stir together the softened cream cheese and the orange marmalade. Mixture should not be soupy.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture into each pocket or just fill the pocket.
In a mixing bowl beat eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined.
Dip stuffed bread slices into egg mixture.
Heat butter or margarine on a griddle and add stuffed bread slices.
Fry over medium heat until golden brown, turning once.
Serve with warm orange syrup and garnish with orange slice and powdered sugar.
Makes 8 slices.
Orange Syrup
In a small saucepan combine:
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 6-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate.

Beat until slightly thickened and serve warm.
Orange Syrup can be made ahead and will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.
