Fresh dill sprigs (optional)

Cut cucumber into 12 slices. Scoop out a bit if the middle of each to make a little ‘cup’ to hold the cheese. Fill each with cheese. Top each with a sprig of dill and a strip of sundried tomato.
This stuffed French toast is a welcome change to boring old French toast. The surprise inside is preserves and creamy cheese ! Make it different every week by changing the flavor of the preserves and the fruit topping.
