Strawberry and Cream Stuffed French toast

Ingredients

For the Filling:

    •    4 oz cream cheese, softened

    •    2 tbsp honey

    •    2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

    •    ½ cup diced strawberries

For the Custard (Egg Mixture):

    •    4 large eggs

    •    ½ cup milk

    •    ½ tsp ground cinnamon

For the French Toast:

    •    6 thick slices brioche bread

    •    Butter (for cooking)

For the Topping:

    •    ¼ cup cream cheese

    •    2 tbsp powdered sugar

    •    1 tsp vanilla extract

    •    1–2 tbsp heavy cream (adjust for drizzling consistency)

    •    Fresh strawberries, sliced

    •    Powdered sugar (for dusting)

For the Strawberry Syrup:

    •    1 cup chopped strawberries

    •    2–3 tbsp sugar

Instructions

1. Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, honey, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Custard

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon. This will be your dipping mixture for the French toast.

3. Stuff the Bread

Cut a pocket into each slice of brioche or gently press down the center with a spoon to make space. Fill with 1–2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture.

4. Cook the French Toast

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 2–3 minutes per side.

5. Make the Strawberry Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries break down and the syrup thickens (about 5–8 minutes).

6. Mix the Icing

In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth and drizzle-ready.

7. Assemble & Serve

Top the warm French toast with a drizzle of cream cheese icing, warm strawberry syrup, sliced strawberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
