Ingredients

2 slices Bread
1/2 cup Fresh Strawberries

1/4 cup Cream Cheese
2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar

2 Eggs
2 tablespoons Milk

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Salt, to taste

Butter, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Cut a slit along one side of each slice of bread to create a pocket.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh strawberries, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gently spoon this mixture into each bread pocket without tearing the bread.

Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Dip each stuffed bread slice into this egg mixture, allowing each side to soak thoroughly.
Step 4: Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook each side of the stuffed bread for about 4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve the French toast warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, extra strawberries, or whipped cream.

Tips & Variations

Use brioche or challah bread for a richer, softer texture.
Try adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
For a tangy twist, mix a little lemon zest into the cream cheese filling.

Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries to change up the flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover stuffed French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the bread crisp. Avoid microwaving if possible to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I prepare the stuffed French toast ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the stuffed bread pockets in advance and refrigerate them for a few hours before cooking. Avoid soaking them in the egg mixture until just before cooking to prevent sogginess.

What type of bread works best for this recipe?

Thicker, sturdier breads like brioche, challah, or Texas toast work best as they hold the filling well and soak up the egg mixture without falling apart.
