Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
Description
This recipe combines the creamy texture of whipped cream cheese sweetened with honey and complemented by fresh diced strawberries, creating a flavorful filling. The filling is spread between brioche slices to form sandwiches. The French toast batter, infused with vanilla and cinnamon, coats the sandwiches thoroughly before cooking.
Cooking in butter over medium heat gives the French toast a crispy, golden exterior while keeping the inside soft and moist. The sweetness and slight tartness of the strawberry cream cheese offers a pleasant contrast to the warm custard-soaked bread.
These strawberry stuffed French toast sandwiches make for a satisfying breakfast or brunch dish. Topping them with extra strawberries, maple syrup, and optional powdered sugar enhances their flavor and presentation. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for a few days and reheated gently for best texture.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese whipped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup strawberries diced, plus more for serving
- 12 lices brioche bread one loaf
- 1 cup milk
- 4 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese with the honey and strawberries, set aside.
- In a large shallow bowl, add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt and whisk to combine.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on 6 slices of brioche, then seal with the other 6 slices.
- Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon butter to the skillet.
- Dip the stuffed brioche in the egg and milk mixture, dredging them well on both sides so they are coated in the batter. Immediately transfer from the bowl to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until edges become golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes. Repeat for the remaining 5.
- Remove from heat and serve with extra strawberries and maple syrup and powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
- Milk can be substituted with any plant-based milk as desired.
- Eggs can be replaced with flax egg for a vegan alternative.
- Cream cheese can be swapped with Greek yogurt or another preferred spread.
