Ingredients
Scale
Cream
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bread and Filling
- 8 slices of bread
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) diced strawberries
Batter
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Craft a luscious cream cheese filling by thoroughly blending softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until silky smooth.
- Delicately incorporate freshly diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution of fruit throughout the filling.
- Meticulously layer the strawberry cream cheese spread across four bread slices, creating an indulgent base for each sandwich.
- Complete the sandwich assembly by gently placing matching bread slices on top of the cream cheese-covered pieces.
- Whisk eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a wide, shallow bowl until the mixture becomes uniformly combined and slightly frothy.
- Carefully immerse each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, rotating to ensure both sides are thoroughly coated with the fragrant liquid.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature and melt butter, creating a golden cooking surface.
- Gently place the egg-drenched sandwiches into the buttered skillet, allowing each side to transform into a rich, caramelized golden-brown surface.
- Cook each sandwich for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, monitoring the color and texture to achieve a perfectly crisp exterior.
- Transfer the finished French toast sandwiches to serving plates, ready to be garnished with additional fresh strawberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Cream cheese filling adds a luxurious, creamy texture that transforms ordinary French toast into an extraordinary breakfast experience.
- Fresh strawberries provide natural sweetness and vibrant color, making each bite burst with fruity flavor.
- Dipping sandwiches quickly prevents bread from becoming too soggy, ensuring a perfect crispy exterior.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, easier mixing without lumps.
- Best enjoyed immediately after cooking while the bread is crisp and filling is soft and warm.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
