Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup hulled and diced strawberries
  • 8 slices of thick bread (e.g. brioche or French toast)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • Prepare the cream cheese filling: Combine cream cheese and honey or maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Fold in strawberries.
  • In a shallow dish or casserole dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  • Take a slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the strawberry cream cheese filling on one side. Place another slice of bread on top, creating a sandwich. Repeat to make 4 sandwiches.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter.
  • Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture for 5 seconds or so, making sure both sides are well-coated. Let the excess drip off and place the stuffed French toast on the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh strawberries, or powdered sugar.

Notes

    • Use stale or day-old bread! Fresh bread can absorb too much liquid.
    • Opt for thicker slices of bread as they will have a better chance of holding their structure after soaking in the egg mixture.
    • Toss in or substitute some more fruity goodness to these strawberry cream cheese French toast sandwiches! Raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries are awesome picks that would pair perfectly with these.
    • If you've got some French toast left over, just pop it in an airtight container in the fridge. When you're ready to dig in again, just toss them on a skillet or in the oven to reheat!
