Ingredients

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup orange marmalade

Method

  • Slice the French bread on a slant, giving each side of the slice a nice surface area. Slice the brick of cream cheese into 1/2 inch thick slices. Make a slit in each slice of French bread through the crust to form a pocket. Place a slice of cream cheese in each pocket; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat together eggs, Irish cream liqueur, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Melt butter in a griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Briefly dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and place on the griddle. Brown on both sides and serve warm with a dollop of orange marmalade on top.
