A delightful breakfast featuring thick-cut bread stuffed with a creamy strawberry cheesecake filling, perfect for a sweet start to your day.
Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread (like brioche or challah)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries and set the filling aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly mixed.
- Spread the strawberry cream cheese filling on one side of a slice of bread, then top with another slice to create a sandwich.
- Repeat the process for the remaining slices.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the pan evenly.
- Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated.
- Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use flavored cream cheese.
- Feel free to substitute other fruits for the strawberries, such as blueberries or raspberries.
- Serve with whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
