French toast gets even tastier with a banana-chocolate cream cheese filling.

Feel free to adjust the cream cheese flavors to suit your palate. Don’t like chocolate and banana? Try adding fruit preserves and chopped nuts instead. If the whole serving looks a little too large for you, consider cutting the stuffed French toast in half on the diagonal.
