Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, for cooking
- 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and salt to create the custard mixture.
Take each slice of bread and make a pocket by cutting a horizontal slit along one edge, making sure not to cut all the way through. Gently stuff each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the custard mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly without oversoaking.
Place the dipped bread slices onto the hot skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add the remaining butter as needed for subsequent batches.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to serving plates. Top with fresh strawberry slices, a generous dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast!
