My family loves to travel. We’ve been on some fun family vacations together. A few of my favorites places were: Myrtle Beach, Ponte Vedra, Washington D.C., California, my grandpa’s farm in Idaho, and of course, Europe. I loved spending time with my family, visiting tourist attractions, trying new foods, learning about new cultures, relaxing, and enjoying different scenery.
One of my favorite things about traveling are the resorts. I know, I am a nerd:) I love checking in and exploring a new place. As a kid, I would hurry to our room to claim my bed, check out the view, and read the hotel guide book. My siblings and I would also run to find the ice machine, pool, and anything else the resort had to offer. We always had a good time, no matter where we were staying.
I used to tell my dad that I wanted to work at a resort when I grew up. I thought any job at a resort would be fun, from front desk to housekeeping. I changed my mind as I got older, but I still have the dream of owning a bed and breakfast. Maybe someday:)
If I ever open a B&B this stuffed French toast with brie is definitely going to be on the menu. I think people would travel all over the world to have one bite of this breakfast treat. The rich, sweet, French toast is stuffed with raspberry jam and creamy brie cheese. Brie is the perfect compliment to the sweet raspberry French toast. I love how the brie melts and oozes out the sides of the French toast “sandwich.” The grand finale includes a spoon full of fresh berries over the top, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar. This is one decadent breakfast!
If my dream ever becomes a reality, I hope you will come and visit my B&B. I will make sure Stuffed French Toast with Brie and Berries is on the menu. In the mean time, here is the recipe so you can make it at home.
And don’t forget that Mother’s Day is on Sunday-make this French toast to celebrate. I think any mother would be happy waking up to this meal.
Stuffed French Toast with Brie and Berries
8 slices of bread-brioche, white, or French
5 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 Tablespoons raspberry jam
Brie cheese, sliced and rind removed, 4 slices per French toast “sandwich”
Toppings:
Mixed berries
Maple syrup
Powdered sugar
1. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together. Pour mixture into a shallow bowl or pie plate.
2. Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture. Make sure you coat each side of the bread, allowing the egg mixture to soak in.
3. Heat a large skillet, using medium high heat. Spray well with cooking spray. Add the coated bread slices to the pan. Cook both sides until lightly golden brown. Cook all 8 pieces of French toast. Set French toast on a plate to cool for one minute.
4. Spread one piece of French toast with 1 tablespoon of raspberry jam. Top with brie slices. Use enough brie to cover the slice of French toast. Place a another slice of French toast on top. Place the French toast “sandwich” back in the pan and heat until cheese is melted. Flip once so both sides are heated. Cook the remaining slices of French toast the same way.
5. Serve hot with berries, syrup, and powdered sugar.
Serves 4

I have a stuffed French toast recipe waiting to be posted, but I think yours sounds better!
I’m laughing because I just made “egg in the hole” for my boys’ breakfast. Your recipe looks amazing … and when you open your B&B, I’ll definitely be a guest (just make sure you open it in one of my two favorite places: Napa or Nantucket)!!
If you ever open a B&B you know I am there!! Yes, I would love to enjoy this sweet & cheesy french toast! xo
That looks fantastic! Soooo delicious, a real treat! One of my first cooking jobs was in a B&B in Venice Beach, CA. It’s a ton of work, but so much fun. When you open yours, I’ll be there!!
Let me know when you open that B & B – I’ll come for sure! Especially if that French toast is on the menu. I think I’ll have to print out this recipe and casually leave it lying around. Hmm, maybe that’s too subtle. Perhaps better would be pinned to my husband’s pillow.
I would definitely take a trip to your B&B for this! I have similar dreams of opening my own and serving up heavenly breakfasts like this!
I’d definitely visit your B&B with this on the menu!
wow, this looks unbelievable! we JUST finished up some brie, I wish I’d see this first!
I can definately see you running a B&B. And I’d come stay there!
oh my gosh, a breakfast like this is almost too good to be true!
followed you here from Simple Bites b/c I had to take a peek at this recipe! Looks absolutely divine and I am off to print it now! I hope it will find its way to me on Mother’s Day
I would be at the front of the line to stay at any B&B that you are running! This french toast looks AMAZING!! Maybe I will make it for myself for Mother’s Day!
I would only stay at your B & B, and would order breakfast all day long! Awesome!!
Seriously, it must be French Toast week – but no complaints from me! Love french toast and this recipe w/brie just knocks it out of the park – well done!
Just let us know when you start accepting reservations. There is a weekend at your B&B and this French toast with my name on it! We go to a resort for one of our vacations each year and I do love it too.
I just can’t believe this recipe! Brie on French toast? But now that I hear about it, it makes perfect sense. It sounds so good!
You are all welcome at our Bed and Breakfast if we ever open one. Glad we will have a few guests at least:)
that sounds absolutely amazing…I’d go visit your B&B for that!
mmm Brie! This looks so pretty!
I would LOVE to wake up to this French Toast on mother’s Day or any day for that matter. My favorite cheese is Brie and this is right up my alley.
And I would definitely book a weekend at you B&B!
I am totally forwarding this to my husband and telling him to make it for Mother’s Day. This sounds amazing!
I’m in – this looks amazing!
I love arriving in a new place too. Even when I’m on a business trip to a new city I love to get out of my hotel room, check out what’s where, and sort of stake my claim to the neighborhood. For however long I’m there, I want to make the place my own. Same thing with resorts and hotels. I always want to know where to find the food, the gym, the pool, and the bar. Ever go on a cruise ship? Exploring that kind of thing after check in as almost too daunting a task, but I always feel I must do it. I need a feel of my new “home” for hte week.
I dream of opening a B&B too. Every once in a while Kevin and I will look at places for sale. We have a copy of “Bed and Breakfasts for Dummies”. It’s a tough business right now as they’re not really in vogue anymore (condo rentals for families are the current vacation trend) but sometimes when the rat race gets to be too much, we find ourselves dreaming again.
I love the idea of french toast with brie. Very over the top with richness, but so worth it. I’d definitely stay at a B&B just for that!
Rachel-we can keep dreaming:)

OMG, I was always the same way growing up wanting to explore wherever we were staying. And now, I LOVE B&Bs and could see myself owning one but it is a lot of work though.
Maybe I’ll just visit every B&B out there and experience the amazing breakfasts and calwfoot tubs in the middle of the rooms
