Ham and Cheese Stuffed French Toast

Ham and Cheese Stuffed French Toast
If I ever were to celebrate Christmas with a breakfast or brunch, which I don't, something like this ham and cheese stuffed french toast would surely be on the menu.
French toast is for me a very rare occasion kind of thing. It seems like an overload, but in the end it's all a matter of making a small sandwich and eating a normal portion. Moderation people.
Ham and Cheese Stuffed French Toast

I had this wonderful pulla that was going a bit stale. I knew this was a great bread, but it exceeded my expectations. It is easy to make, absolutely delicious with a wonderful crumb and can be used for so many things, from cinnamon or orange rolls, to little sandwich breads, to french toast or bread pudding.

Ham and Cheese Stuffed French Toast

I especially like the combination of a slightly sweet dough filled with ham and cheese. It just works. This Pizza Rustica, which is not a pizza but a pie, is a good example too.
So this french toast was born, drizzled with a lot of maple syrup, just because I like it that way.
To everyone celebrating today, have a wonderful and merry Christmas in company of your loved ones.
My thoughts are with those who won't have a happy day, not today or tomorrow. May peace find you and ease the pain.

    OH EM GEE!!! Paula, can I move in with you? I think I might die in the scorching heat but it would be worth it if I could eat your insanely delicious food. This sandwich is so decadent and gorgeous, all crispy on the outside but gooey on the inside with that melted cheese, and that perfect salty sweet combo. I'm drooling - it's 9am and I'm salivating all over my keyboard 😉
