How to Stuff French Toast With Mascarpone Cream

French toast is a family-friendly treat that can be prepared in a number of ways. A sophisticated take on this classic breakfast fare is to stuff the uncooked bread with mascarpone cream. Mascarpone is a rich cow's milk cheese that is often used to construct the filling for tiramisu, a decadent dessert made with coffee-dipped lady fingers. Mascarpone cheese, available through specialty food shops, is whipped with egg whites and sugar to create the rich cream filling for stuffed French toast. Does this Spark an idea?
