Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-cut bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 3 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp Water
• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Butter (for cooking)
• 0 Maple syrup (optional for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of 4 slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices to make 4 stuffed 'sandwiches.'

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and begin to break down into a sauce, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon to create the egg mixture for dipping.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the dipped sandwiches into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches and add the remaining butter as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked French toast to serving plates, spoon the warm strawberry sauce over the top, and garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with optional maple syrup on the side.
