Ingredients

• 8 slices sandwich bread
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons strawberry jam
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Lay 8 slices of bread on a clean surface and use a rolling pin to flatten them slightly.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese onto 4 of the bread slices, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam onto the remaining 4 slices of bread, also leaving a border.

Step 4

Place a jam-covered slice on top of a cream-cheese-covered slice, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Repeat for all slices, forming 4 'pockets.'

Step 5

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt.

Step 7

Dip each sandwich pocket into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, and place it into the hot skillet. Cook 2 pockets at a time if your pan size allows.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining pockets, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Step 9

Dust the cooked French toast pockets with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious French Toast Pockets!
