Ingredients

For the Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup diced strawberries

For the French Toast:

8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast work great)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole milk or half & half preferred)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Butter or oil, for cooking

 

Instructions

1. Make the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Gently fold in the diced strawberries.

 

2. Assemble the Toast:

Spread about 2 tablespoons of the filling on 4 slices of bread.

Top with the remaining 4 slices to make sandwiches.

 

3. Prepare the Batter:

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

 

4. Dip the Sandwiches:

Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.

 

5. Cook the French Toast:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

 

6. Serve:

Slice in halves or quarters.

Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup or strawberry sauce, and top with extra fresh strawberries if desired.
