Additional Tips:
- If you use plain bread, spread cream cheese or mascarpone between two slices of bread before adding sliced strawberries.

- Not a strawberry fan? Use blueberries, raspberries, or even bananas instead.
Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of Cream Cheese Brioche cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 1 16 oz container of fresh strawberries sliced (save some for topping)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cup milk (I used oat milk)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (if you don’t have heavy cream, add another 1/4 cup of milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp butter for cooking
- Maple syrup powdered sugar, or whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange half of the bread in a large baking dish.
- Top each piece of bread with sliced strawberries, then place another slice on top to create a sandwich.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sugar.
- Smash down each stuffed sandwich and dip it into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated without getting too soggy.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each stuffed French toast sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Plate your French toast, add extra fresh strawberries, and drizzle with maple syrup. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream.
