Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 tablespoons Fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (any kind)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and diced strawberries until well combined. Set aside.
Take the thick-cut bread slices and create a pocket in the center of each slice by making a small horizontal cut without slicing all the way through.
Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture into the pocket of each bread slice, distributing the filling evenly.
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or coat with cooking spray.
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, but do not soak for too long to avoid sogginess.
Place the coated slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from skillet and serve warm, optionally garnished with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.
