Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Strawberries, diced
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (Brioche or Texas Toast)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for garnish
- Extra strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly distributed. Set the filling aside.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each slice of bread without cutting all the way through.
Stuff each bread pocket with about 2-3 tablespoons of the strawberry cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spillage.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon to create the custard.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the custard mixture, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated but not overly saturated.
Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and extra strawberries if desired.
