Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
10 slices French bread (about 1/4 inch thick)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup flour

Instructions:

We offer pancakes, waffles, and pockets with fruit inside them as one of our main course choices at breakfast. I felt there should be a way of baking the fruit inside of the French toast. After I developed a batter thick enough to do so, our guests around the breakfast table started asking questions, such as, "How does the fruit get inside the bread?" and "How early do you have to get up in order to bake the different kinds of fruit breads?"

Fruit of your choice, we offer: blueberry, strawberry, banana, banana nut, chocolate chip, or Reese's peanut butter chips

Cut French bread and set aside to allow slices to dry a little.
Using a wire whip, whip eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and milk together.
Add flour a little at a time and continue whipping batter as you do so.
Dip a slice of bread quickly on both sides, allowing excess batter to drip off. Do not soak! Whip batter before dipping each slice.
Place dipped bread into a medium hot skillet (I use an electric grill set at 350º.).
Add your choice of fruit generously over the top of each slice. Press fruit into bread with the back of a spoon. Cover fruit with about 1 tablespoon of batter.
Turn slices when golden brown and cook fruit side until golden brown.
Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.
