Strawberry-Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
Total Time: 48 min
Prep: 15 min
Inactive: 10 min
Cook: 23 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese
12 slices white bread
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
Butter, for cooking
Maple syrup, for serving
Strawberry Syrup, for serving, recipe follows
Confectioners’ sugar, for serving
Strawberry Syrup:
3 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup granulated sugar
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and granulated sugar. Spread the cream cheese on half of the bread slices and top with strawberries. Top with the remaining 6 bread slices and press around the edges to seal.
Melt butter on a griddle over medium-low heat. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side. Cook the sandwiches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with maple syrup, Strawberry Syrup, or confectioners’ sugar.
Strawberry Syrup:
In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the strawberries are soft and the syrup is thickened and reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 in volume, 15 to 18 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before serving.
Cook’s Note: If a thinner syrup is desired, strain the hot syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container and let cool.
