Preparation

Step 1

For cherry sauce, combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in the water until smooth. Add cherries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Spread over six slices of bread; top with remaining bread. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg, milk and remaining sugar. Dip both sides of bread into egg mixture. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, toast bread on each side until golden brown. Serve with cherry sauce.
