Take your Christmas Stollen Bread to a whole new level by turning it into French toast with this recipe.
Perhaps Stollen is a family tradition or maybe you received some as a gift, either way, it is a delicious bread filled with dried fruit, almonds, and topped with powdered sugar. You can also get them rum filled…yum.
Stollen bread is a German traditional bread made for Christmas and is sometimes called Christstollen (after Christ). In Dresden, they hold a festival and make a giant Stollen weighing 3-4 tons and have to carry it by carriage through a parade! 
Cut the beautiful Stollen bread into diagonal pieces about 3/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, cream, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. No need to add sugar to this mix as the stollen has sugar in the bread, plus the raisins and the powdered sugar top adds sweetness as well (plus the syrup garnish).
Heat a frying pan with oil. Dip your Stollen bread into the egg mixture to thoroughly coat both sides. 
Fry the slices of the stollen 2 – 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and fry the other side the same.
To serve, place a dollop of butter on the toast and garnish with powdered sugar and/or syrup.
