This delicious stuffed French toast is the best brunch treat for two we ever created. We think it looks and tastes even better if you pick up cinnamon-raisin bread at the local bakery and slice it yourself. Whichever kind of bread you use, you can either remove the crusts or leave them on. Serve this hearty breakfast dish with a variety of your favorite fresh fruits alongside or on top. And to warm the maple syrup, place it in a small custard cup and microwave on High for about 20 seconds. For a creamier taste, you can substitute fat-free half-and-half for the milk if you like, which shouldn't affect the recipe's nutritional value.
