Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

For the French Toast:

  • 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter, for cooking

For Topping:

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Extra fresh strawberries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Set aside.
  2. Prep the Bread:
    Cut a pocket into each slice of bread, being careful not to slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with the cream cheese and strawberry mixture.
  3. Make the Batter:
    In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  4. Cook the French Toast:
    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook each slice in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve:
    Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and garnish with extra strawberries. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use stale or day-old bread for best results, as it holds up better when dipped in the egg mixture.
  • Swap strawberries for other berries like blueberries or raspberries if desired.
