• portions: 6 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

8 ounces cream cheese (softened)

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 cup diced strawberries (plus more for serving)

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

12 slices sourdough brioche (or sourdough challah or sourdough French bread)

3 tablespoons butter for cooking

Powdered sugar, butter, whipped cream, sliced strawberries, maple syrup, chocolate chips

Instructions

An hour or so before starting the recipe. Take out the cream cheese and allow it to sit at room temperature to soften.

Add the softened cream cheese and honey to a medium bowl, and stir until combined.

Fold in chopped sweet strawberries into the sweetened cream cheese.

Divide and spread the strawberry cream cheese filling onto 6 slices of bread. Add the remaining 6 slices of bread to make 6 sandwiches. Another option is to create a pocket in thick sliced pieces of bread and stuffing the creamy strawberry filling into the pocket.

For the egg mixture, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and whisk well to combine.

Heat the butter over medium heat on a skillet or griddle.

Dip the cream cheese sandwiches into the egg mixture, and allow to sit for 5 seconds on each side to absorb. If the slices of bread are left too long, it can make the french toast soggy.

Place the cream cheese stuffed French toast on the hot skillet.

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through

Serve warm. Our favorite toppings are whipped cream, strawberries and maple syrup!
