Stuffed Strawberry French Toast

A rich, fruity breakfast treat made with brioche, strawberry cream cheese, and fresh berries—perfect for weekends or special mornings.

Ingredients

• 1 sliced brioche loaf (8 slices)

• Strawberry cream cheese, softened

• Strawberry jam

• Fresh strawberries, sliced

• 6 eggs

• ⅓ cup milk

• 2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring

• 1 teaspoon almond flavoring

• Butter (for cooking)

• Optional toppings: whipped cream, maple syrup, extra strawberries

Directions

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and almond flavoring. Set aside for dipping.

2. Spread softened strawberry cream cheese on 4 slices of brioche.

3. Spread strawberry jam on the remaining 4 slices.

4. Place sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese-covered slices, then top with the jam-covered slices to form sandwiches. Press gently to help them stick together.

5. Heat about 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

6. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.

7. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.

8. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, more fresh strawberries, and maple syrup if desired.
