Raspberry And Ricotta Stuffed French Toast Pitas Recipes

Steps:

• Split pita rounds, set aside. In bowl, stir ricotta with maple syrup and cinnamon and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Spread about 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the ricotta mixture on each of the pita halves.
• Sandwich pita halves with a few raspberries. Repeat with remaining pitas. Slice each in half crosswise.
• In shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk and remaining vanilla. Dip each pita sandwich half in egg mixture.
• Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. Fry stuffed pitas for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden.
• Serve drizzled with maple syrup and additional raspberries.

Steps:

• Mix ricotta, honey and cinnamon.
• Spoon mixture into a piping bag with a star tip. I use a #18, but any size will work as long as it is large enough for the ricotta mixture to be piped through it.
• Take each apricot and roll it in your fingers to reveal the hole made when the pits were removed. Pipe the ricotta mixture into this hole, filling the apricot.

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 12 slices and put 6 plates in the oven to warm at 200°.

• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat; add about 1 tablespoon of butter and heat until melted and foamy.
• Working in two batches, if necessary, arrange half the soaked bread slices in the skillet; cook until golden brown, 3-5 minutes; lay 2 slices of cream cheese on each slice of bread, then place 1/6 of the raspberries on top of the cheese; cover each with another slice of soaked bread and press firmly with a spatula.
• Turn the'sandwich' over and brown on the other side, about 3 minutes more.
• Transfer to warmed plates, sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar and serve.
