Made this today and my hubby loves it! He said it tasted like IHOP Stuffed French Toast, only this was better as he said they just use regular bread. The sour cream stuffing is so delicious! I will make this when we have friends and family over and we want to give them a delicious breakfast/brunch.

This was a hit in our home for a special breakfast. I used regular bread and added cinnamon and a splash of milk to the eggs. Also used fresh strawberries and real whipped cream. Thank you for the wonderful breakfast!

These were very good, but a little sweet for our tastes. I think next time I might go with fresh strawberries or unsweetened frozen strawberries. I'll also just do egg whites and skip the sugar added to the eggs. Still good though!

Made this for Easter morning breakfast. I did tweak it a bit, adding milk to the eggs to dip the bread like I usually do when I make French toast and left out the sugar and vanilla with the eggs. I also only use one egg for each three pieces of French toast. I would have left out the butter in the cream cheese and will do that when I make it again. I also added a bit of milk to help make the cream cheese more spreadable. My loaf of Pepperidge Farm Cinna-swirl bread had 12 slices including the two heels. So I made six which were way too many for the two of us. We stuffed ourselves as much as we could and then threw the rest away. Next time I wlll just make one for each of us. I didn't use whipped cream because that would have been far too much for the two of us. Maybe if I just make one for each of us. The thawed frozen strawberries (in syrup) really made this, though.
