• 6 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 8 slices dense bread (such as English muffin bread)
• 1 – 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
• fruit preserves, your choice
• 6 cups corn flakes, coarsely crushed
• butter

Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Spread light coat of cream cheese on all slices of bread. Spread one tablespoon of preserves on each of four slices of bread. Put matching slices together to make four sandwiches. Coat, but do not soak sandwiches in egg mixture on both sides, then coat with crushed corn flakes on both sides and edges. Place on medium heat griddle which has been coated with a small amount of butter. Heat until lightly brown, then flip and brown on other side. You can keep these warm in the oven if your griddle isn’t big enough to do all at the same time. Serve with maple syrup.
Makes four servings.
