Ingredients

• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Strawberries, finely diced
• 8 slices Thick-cut bread slices
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced (for topping)
• 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Fold the diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture gently to avoid breaking them apart.

Step 3

Lay out the bread slices and spread an even layer of the strawberry cream cheese mixture onto four slices. Top each with a second slice of bread to form sandwiches.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 5

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 6

Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not overly soaked.

Step 7

Place the dipped sandwiches onto the preheated skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if needed, adding the remaining butter for subsequent batches.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and top with fresh sliced strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Charmie's Strawberry Stuffed French Toast!
