• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make the streusel topping by mixing sugar, flour, butter, and ginger with a fork until moist crumbs form.

CREAM CHEESE-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat a cast-iron griddle over low heat; preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine the cream cheese, jam and slivered almonds in a small bowl and beat with an electric mixer.
• Slice the challah into 2-inch-thick slices. With a pairing knife, make a 1/2-inch horizontal slit in the bottom crust of each slice to form a pocket.
• Using a butter knife, fill each slice with some of the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
• Whisk together the eggs, almond extract, brown sugar and milk in a large baking dish. Dip the stuffed challah slices into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat each slice.
• Increase the temperature on the preheated griddle to medium heat; add the butter, let it melt, and then place the stuffed and dipped challah onto the griddle. Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a baking rack, and hold in the oven to keep warm. Serve with slivered almonds and maple syrup.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the jam and a pinch of salt and continue to beat until thoroughly combined. Using a paring knife, make a slit in each bread slice about 2 to 3 inches long and deep; this pocket will hold the filling. Using an offset spatula, divide and stuff the filling equally into the pockets, making sure it's not a big lump. Set aside.
• In a shallow dish, add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix with a fork until combined. Dip the challah into the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let sit and soak while you heat your butter.
• In a large nonstick skillet, add the butter and heat over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the challah, allowing any excess egg mixture to drip off, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Place the French toast on a serving dish. Serve with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and garnished with strawberries.
• In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, orange zest and salt and whisk together. In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, orange juice, oil and 2 of the eggs.
• Add the wet to the flour mixture; stir to combine. Knead, either by hand on a floured surface or with a dough hook on medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary (but resist any urge to add too much!), until you have a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
• Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours. (Alternatively, chill the dough in the refrigerator overnight, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before shaping.)
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Divide each into 3 logs and braid. Place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart. Cover loosely and let rise 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the loaves with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until they are golden and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F; begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly and enjoy. (Challah is best eaten within 24 hours. After that it's ok if you toast it or use it for French toast. It also freezes well!)

• Place the cooked French toast on a baking sheet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Place in the oven to keep wrm until all the bread slices are cooked.
• Coat and cook the remaining bread until all the bread is cooked. (You will have to add more butter to the skillet in between batches)
• Place one slice of bread on each of the four serving dishes. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of the jam cream cheese mixture on each of the bread slices.
• Top each bread/cream cheese with another slice of the bread. Spread another 3-4 tablespoons on each of the bread slices.

• Cut each slice of bread in half.
• Beat eggs with milk and pinch of salt.
• In separate bowl, mash cheese until smooth with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, adjusting to taste.
• Spread one-fourth of cheese filling evenly over four slices of bread.
• Top with unspread slices of bread to form half-sandwiches.
• Dip and soak each sandwich in egg-milk mixture, turning so both sides of each sandwich absorb liquid.
• Let excess drip off.
• Heat unsalted butter in 10 inch skillet, and when hot but not brown, add sandwiches.
• Reduce heat and fry slowly for 5 to 7 minutes, or until first side is golden.
• Turn and brown second side over low heat.

CREAM CHEESE-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• The night before, slice the baguette into 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick slices; you should get at least 12. Make a small slit on the bottom side of each slice to make a deep pocket for stuffing. you can do this when ready to cook, but it's best to let the bread sit out overnight.
• Just before cooking, in a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, nuts, dried fruit if using, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture, using a spoon to stuff it in each pocket.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• When ready to cook, warm the oil and butter on a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Dip the stuffed baguette slices in the egg mixture for a few seconds so it coats evenly. Don't let them soak too long or they will become mushy. Transfer to the griddle and cook on each side until browned.
• Remove from the griddle and place on a serving plate. Garnish with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and sliced berries. Serve with your favorite syrup.
