Ingredients
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup diced strawberries
For the French Toast:
8 slices thick-cut bread
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Butter, for frying
For Serving:
Maple syrup
Additional diced strawberries
Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Set aside.
- Make the French Toast Batter: Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese filling onto 4 slices of bread, then top each with another slice of bread to make 4 sandwiches.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt some butter. Dip each sandwich into the French toast batter, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Place the battered sandwiches onto the hot skillet or griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Serve the stuffed French toast warm with maple syrup, additional diced strawberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
