Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah preferred)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, for topping)
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 2

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of 4 slices of bread.

Step 3

Sprinkle the diced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese layer, then top with the remaining slices of bread to create stuffed sandwiches.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 6

Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, but not overly soaked.

Step 7

Place the sandwiches into the skillet or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding the remaining butter as needed.

Step 8

Once all sandwiches are cooked, remove from the heat and cut them in half diagonally for presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately with fresh berries on top and a drizzle of maple syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
