Ingredients:
For the pimento cheese:
· 3 ounces cream cheese softened
· 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
· 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
· ½ cup mayonnaise
· ½ teaspoon salt
· ¼ teaspoon pepper
· ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
· 3 tablespoons jarred pimentos
· 1 teaspoon grated onion
· Salt & Pepper to taste
· Hot sauce or cayenne, to taste
For the French toast:
· 4 large eggs
· ½ cup milk
· Salt & Pepper to taste
· 1 (16-ounce) challah bread loaf
· 2 to 4 tablespoons butter
· 1 ½ cups Pimento Cheese, divided
Instructions:
1. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add remaining pimento cheese ingredients and beat until well blended.
2. In a shallow bowl stir together eggs, milk, and pepper. Set mixture aside.
3. Slice bread into thin, equal sized slices. These will become a top and a bottom for each slice of French toast.
4. In a nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
5. Assemble French toast by making “sandwiches” with pimento cheese between two bread slices.
6. Dredge in egg mixture, then place into preheated pan. Cook until golden on each side. Enjoy!
