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

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and creamy.
  2. Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries and set the filling aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Spread the strawberry cream cheese filling on one side of a slice of bread, then top with another slice to create a sandwich.
  5. Repeat the process for the remaining slices.
  6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the pan evenly.
  7. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated.
  8. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  9. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
