Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Consider using mascarpone for a different texture.
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar Substitute granulated sugar if needed.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries Other berries or chocolate chips make great substitutions.
For the French Toast
  • 8 slices Thick-sliced brioche or challah bread Day-old bread is ideal for better custard absorption.
  • 2 large Egg Use applesauce for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Milk or half-and-half Almond milk or oat milk serve as non-dairy alternatives.
  • 1 tbsp Butter Coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step‐by‐Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries.
  2. Take two slices of thick-sliced brioche or challah bread, and generously spread the cream cheese filling between them, pressing down gently to seal the edges. Repeat this process with additional slices until all filling is used.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or half-and-half), and a splash of vanilla extract until well blended, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Carefully dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, allowing each side to soak for about 10 seconds.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the warm French toast to plates and dust with powdered sugar. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh strawberries on top.
