Fruit Stuffed French Toast

My husband isn't real big on sweet breakfast - he is much more of an egg man but he even gave these stuffed french toast his stamp of approval!  It might be one of my favorite breakfast meals!  They are so delicious and are pretty easy to make!  Even better you can easily use different types of fruits in this recipe so get creative and try it with your favorite fruit!
