Stuffed French Toast

12 slices whole wheat bread or French bread
6 tablespoons cream cheese
1/4 cup fruit preserves (100% fruit)
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar

Combine cream cheese and preserves; use mixture to make 6 sandwiches. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla together with whisk. Butter a griddle (I just rub the end of a stick of butter over my griddle) and heat to medium-low heat. Dip each sandwich in egg mixture. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned on both sides. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
