Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices sliced bread
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese
- 6 teaspoons strawberry jam
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Lay out the sliced bread on a clean surface and spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one side of each slice.
On half of the slices, spread 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam over the cream cheese. Then, place a plain cream cheese slice on top to form a sandwich.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into 3 equal fingers (rectangular strips).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each sandwich finger into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, and gently shake off the excess.
Place the dipped fingers into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning as needed, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Repeat with the remaining sandwich fingers, adding more butter to the skillet if necessary.
Transfer the cooked sandwich fingers to a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup on the side.
