Ingredients
Filling
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
Main
- 8 slices thick bread
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Syrup, to serve
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the sliced strawberries gently to combine.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese and strawberry mixture evenly between two slices of thick bread, making four sandwiches in total.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked through.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Fry each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and position the stuffed French toast on plates. Dust generously with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup before serving warm.
Notes
- Use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah for best results.
- Make sure not to soak the bread too long in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess.
- Fresh strawberries add brightness; you can substitute with other berries if preferred.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
