Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah preferred)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of 4 slices of bread.
Sprinkle the diced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer, then top with the remaining slices of bread to create stuffed sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, but not overly soaked.
Place the sandwiches into the skillet or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding the remaining butter as needed.
Once all sandwiches are cooked, remove from the heat and cut them in half diagonally for presentation.
Serve immediately with fresh berries on top and a drizzle of maple syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
