Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crispy
- 0.5 cup Sliced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup until fully combined.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto one side of each of the 4 slices of bread.
On two slices of bread (cream cheese side up), layer 2 slices of crispy bacon and a few slices of strawberries. Top with the other 2 slices of bread (cream cheese side down) to form two sandwiches.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated.
Melt the butter on the preheated panini press or skillet. Place the sandwiches onto the press or skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side (or until golden brown and crispy), pressing lightly if using a skillet.
Remove the paninis from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute. Slice each sandwich in half to serve.
Drizzle the remaining maple syrup over the top and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy your Wake Up Stuffed French Breakfast Panini!
