INSTRUCTIONS
Make Black Forest sauce first: in a saucepan, heat cherries & juice. Stir in sugar & vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix water & cornstarch. Stir into cherries, simmering until thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in nutmeg. Keep warm. In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in shaved chocolate or miniature chips. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla & optional salt. Slice French bread into 12 slices, each 1 to 11/2 inches thick. Then slice a pocket into the middle of each slice. Fill each pocket with 1/2 to 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture. Dip bread slices into egg batter on both sides. Place on a hot griddle and brown. Turn and brown the other side (keep slices in a warm oven, if necessary, while finishing all 12 slices). To serve, place two slices on each plate and top with about 3/4 cup warm Black Forest sauce. Enjoy! Makes 6 servings. Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
