Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese (softened) Rich and velvety base for filling.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Sweetens the filling.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds aromatic flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced) Adds sweetness and color to stuffing.

For the French toast

  • 8 slices thick bread Texas Toast or Brioche preferred.
  • 2 large eggs Binding agent for the custard.
  • 1/2 cup milk Ensures a tender texture.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon Brings warmth to the flavor.
  • 1 tbsp butter (for cooking) Creates a golden crust.
  • maple syrup (for serving) Adds sweetness when served.
  • powdered sugar (for dusting) Finishing touch for presentation.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Lay out the slices of bread and spread the creamy filling onto one side of each slice.
  • Layer fresh strawberries on top of the filling and cover with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.

Cooking

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon to create the egg wash.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter until bubbling.
  • Dip each sandwich into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are coated. Place in the skillet.
  • Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Serving

  • Remove from skillet, dust with powdered sugar, slice open to reveal the filling, and serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg wash. Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature before mixing for a smoother filling. Can be made dairy-free by substituting ingredients accordingly.
