Fig French Toast Sandwich

 

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

4 slices bread

1 T. fig jam

2 eggs

1 T. milk

2 T. walnut oil

Spread half of the cream cheese on 2 slices of bread. Spread the fig jam on top, dividing it between the bread slices. Spread the remaining cream cheese on the other 2 bread slices. Place them cream-cheese side down on top of the fig jam to make 2 sandwiches. In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk. Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium. Dip both sides of the sandwiches into the egg mixture, covering the sides evenly and allowing any excess liquid to drip back into the bowl. Cook the sandwiches until they’re golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Slice each sandwich in half and serve.
