Kudos Syd, on a truly spectacular french toast. I enjoyed this so much, I can't wait to make this again. The cheese inside is such a lovely surprise and it blends beautifully with the fruit and maple syrup. I used some of the wonderful maple syrup that my brother brings me from up north, so good and thick and I added candied ginger, dried blueberries, homemade orange peel and my favorite dried and candied cantaloupe for a wonderful taste experience. This has gone into my regular rotation and also into my Best of 2011 Cookbook. Thanks so much for sharing. -:)
