This is an entire meal in one dish! You get veggies, gravy, and carbs in every delicious bite.  The filling is jam packed with flavor, from classic carrot, celery, onion, and peas, to the less traditional wild mushrooms and potatoes.

Food with Friends: Apple Pie Stuffed French Toast

Today I show Kristin, beloved member of the Eitan Productions team and my personal assistant, how to make the most epic French toast ever! We start by simmering sweet and tart apples in warming spices to create the perfect filling, then stuff it inside of soft challah. It's dipped in a creamy custard and griddled until GBAD (golden brown and delicious!), and served with a spiced whipped cream. Get ready to throw out any other French toast recipe!
