Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until creamy and smooth.
  2. Slice the Bread: Cut a pocket into each slice of bread, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Stuff the Bread: Generously spread the cream cheese mixture into each pocket and tuck in the sliced strawberries.
  4. Create the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until combined.
  5. Preheat and Grease the Pan: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Soak the Bread: Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  7. Cook to Perfection: Place the coated bread in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve with a Smile: Serve warm with maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

You can prep and stuff the bread the night before for convenience. For a vegan option, use coconut cream and flax eggs.
