Lighthouses of Door County- Sherwood Point Lighthouse- Door County Cherry Stuffed French Toast

The skies were dark and ominous looking early in the morning.
 In Fish Creek where we stayed the morning temperature was 38 degrees.
The temperatures in Egg Harbor were around 45 degrees in the morning
 and rose to 53 degrees in the afternoon.

The beautiful autumn skies of Door County Peninsula in Fish Creek.








We trekked to The White Gull Inn
on Main Street in Fish Creek.
It is a beautiful inn with a Scandinavian heritage.





This is the reason we came to this inn for breakfast.

The recipe:

Cherry-Stuffed French Toast from "GMA Best Breakfast" finalist White Gull Inn
Ingredients
1 loaf egg bread, unsliced 1 8-ounce packages cheese cream, room temperature 1 cups tart Montmorency cherries, drained, divided 3 eggs 1/2 cup milk cinnamon, for garnish powdered sugar, for garnish maple syrup, for garnish 
Cooking Directions
Trim ends from loaf and cut bread into six 1 1/2 inch thick slices. Make a cut three-quarters down the middle of each slice. Bread will appear to have to separate slices, but will be joined together at the bottom. Set aside. 
In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and one cup of the cherries. Spread approximately 1/6 cup of the mixture into the pocket of each slice of bread. Gently press slices together, evenly distributing filling. 
In a separate bowl, beat eggs and milk together. Dip stuffed slices into egg mixture and coat all sides. Place immediately on a lightly oiled, heated griddle and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until golden brown, turning to cook second side. 
Remove cooked slices from griddle and place on a cutting board. Gently make a diagonal cut through each slice, forming two triangles. Arrange two triangles on individual plates. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and remaining cherries. Serve with maple syrup and butter. 

After breakfast, we walked to the end of the street to view Sunset Beach.



The remainder of the day
we continued to explore the peninsula looking for lighthouses and
local points of interest.
Today was a visit to Sturgeon Bay.





Sherwood Point Lighthouse
This was the only photo shot I got of this lighthouse.
The lighthouse was established in 1883 and automated in 1983.
This was the last manned lighthouse on the US Great Lakes.
The facility is operated as a rest and recuperation area for active members 
of the U.S. military on a rental basis.
Available boat tours pass by the lighthouse.
