Filling Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh strawberries, sliced
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until creamy and uniform in texture.
- Layer the mixture generously across 4 bread slices, ensuring even distribution.
- Delicately arrange fresh strawberry slices over the cream cheese spread.
- Carefully place remaining bread slices on top, creating sealed sandwiches.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully submerge each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing bread to absorb liquid evenly.
- Heat skillet over medium temperature, adding butter to coat pan surface.
- Cook stuffed sandwiches approximately 3-4 minutes per side until achieving a rich golden-brown color.
- Ensure interior cheese is melted and bread is crisp and golden.
- Transfer to serving plate and garnish with additional fresh strawberry slices or drizzle with maple syrup.
- Serve immediately while warm and crispy for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Choose a soft, thick bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and absorption of the egg mixture.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create a smooth, spreadable filling without lumps.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum flavor and natural sweetness in the stuffed French toast.
- If watching calories, swap butter for a non-stick cooking spray or use a lighter cooking method like baking the French toast in the oven.
