HOT BROWN-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; lightly spray a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, 2 tablespoons of the pecorino, 1/4 teaspoon of the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Lay 7 slices of bread on a cutting board. Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoon shredded Cheddar on top of each slice. Top each with 2 slices of tomato, then 2 slices of turkey, folding the turkey as needed to fit. Place the remaining 7 slices bread on top to form 7 sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Dip both sides of each sandwich half into the custard mixture and transfer to the prepared baking pan, arranging in 2 long shingled rows. Pour any remaining custard over the sandwiches.
• Spray a large piece of foil with nonstick spray. Place the foil sprayed-side down on top of the baking pan, crimping the sides of the foil around the pan to seal. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly, about 10 minutes more. Remove the baking pan and switch the oven to broil.
• Meanwhile, add the bacon to a large nonstick skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and almost completely rendered, 8 to 12 minutes (it will cook the rest of the way and crisp up under the broiler). Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Next, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until bubbling and no longer raw, 1 to 2 minutes. While continually whisking, slowly pour in the milk. Cook, whisking continuously, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining Cheddar (about 1 cup), 2 tablespoons pecorino, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and whisk until combined. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• When the French toast is baked, pour the cheese sauce over it, making sure the bread is evenly coated, then sprinkle with the chopped bacon. Broil until bubbling at the edges and light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley, paprika and another couple pinches of pecorino.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)

Steps:

• Microwave the cream cheese (in a large bowl) on high just until softened, 5 to 10 seconds. Check it. You'd be surprised how microwave ovens vary.
• Stir in 2 tablespoons of the sugar and all of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir till smooth. Wrap tightly and chill for about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Arrange the bread on a rack set over a rimmed baking sleet. Bake it until slightly dry, about 15 minutes. (I would say "or stale bread", but if you're familiar with their exhaustive testing approach, it's best to just trust them and do this step.).
• Spread the cream cheese evenly over 4 pieces of bread. Leave a 1/2-inch at the edges. ( If you do not leave the border clear, it will just come out while cooking and be wasted.) Lightly press the rest of the slices over the top to make 4 sturdy sandwiches.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk it with the milk, egg, vanilla, salt and the remaining 2 T. of sugar. Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth. Pour the batter into a large shallow dish.
• Slide 2 sandwiches into the batter and soak both sides, about 1 minute per side. Meanwhile, melt 1 more T. of the butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until it begins to brown, swirling to coat the pan.
• Remove the bread from the batter. Let excess batter drip back in the dish. Lay two sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2.5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the other two sandwiches.
