Ingredients:
8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar (more for dusting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Butter for pan-frying
Maple syrup and additional strawberries for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold
in the sliced strawberries.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread a generous amount of the strawberry cream mixture on a slice of bread. Top with another slice to
make a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
Dip the Sandwiches:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt some butter.
Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Cook:
Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are
golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Serve the stuffed French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and with maple syrup and additional
fresh strawberries on the side.
