Ingredients

• 4 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 4 tablespoons Fresh strawberries, diced
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk (any kind)
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and diced strawberries until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Take the thick-cut bread slices and create a pocket in the center of each slice by making a small horizontal cut without slicing all the way through.

Step 3

Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each bread slice, distributing the filling evenly.

Step 4

In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or coat with cooking spray.

Step 6

Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, but do not soak for too long to avoid sogginess.

Step 7

Place the coated slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from skillet and serve warm, optionally garnished with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.
