directions
- Spray griddle with cooking spray.
- Beat the cream cheese and pineapple together.
- Stir in the nuts, and set aside.
- Slice the bread into 1 1/2" slices.
- You should have at least 10 slices.
- Cut a pocket in the top of each slice.
- Fill each pocket with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.
- Beat together the eggs, whipped cream, vanilla and nutmeg.
- Using tongs, dip the bread slices in the egg mixture, (being careful not to squeeze out the good stuff!) Cook on the griddle until both sides are golden brown.

I live in Sugar Land, Texas. I love to try new recipes. My husband jokes that if he likes something, I never make it again for 6 months! My children are very picky, but do have their favorites that I try to include in our menu more often than every 6 months.
