How to cook deliciously - Blueberry-Lemon Ricotta Stuffed French Toast

1. Stage

In a 8” or 9” square baking pan, use a fork to whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, a pinch of salt, and nutmeg, if using. Cut a pocket in each slice of bread by resting the slice on its flat side and using a serrated knife to cut about ⅘ of the way down. Repeat with second slice of bread.

2. Stage

Place bread in egg mixture and let soak for 10 minutes. Flip and soak 10 minutes more.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, make ricotta filling: In a medium bowl, stir to combine ricotta, jam, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Divide mixture between the two pockets in the soaked bread.

4. Stage

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter has stopped foaming, add toast. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flip, and cook 3 to 4 minutes more.
