Nothing can set the mood for a great day off better than a delicious breakfast. This morning I decided to make stuffed french toast. I added a layer of fresh strawberries to lighten things up a bit (and to make a dent in the 5 lb supply I impulsively bought this week). This recipe comes together in a snap but has enough sophistication to be a great choice for Mother's Day brunch. The filling is sweet enough that no syrup is necessary, but a sprinkle of powdered sugar really sets the whole thing off.
You'll Need:
8 slices of bread (I used homemade white sandwich bread)
Butter
Cream Cheese Filling
6 oz. cream cheese
2 Tb. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Strawberry Filling
1 cup strawberries
1 tsp. sugar
Batter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Getting Started:
Hull and slice strawberries and toss with 1 tsp. sugar in a small bowl. Let sit at least 5 minutes.
Mix together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Mix together egg, milk, flour, sugar, and vanilla in a shallow dish (I used a pie plate).
Now You're Cookin':
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread.
Put a single layer of strawberries over the cream cheese mixture.
Top each sandwich half with another slice of bread.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tb. butter to melt.
Dip two sandwiches on both sides in the egg mixture.
When pan is ready cook sandwiches on each side for about 2-3 minutes. They should be golden brown and slightly crisp.
Add more butter to the pan. Dip and cook the remaining two sandwiches.
Serve with a little powdered sugar or syrup.

ReplyDeleteI was a little concerned about this recipe after reading the other reviews, but it was great! It is very easy, I did add an extra tablespoon of strawberry preserves which made it sweet enough for us. I didn't have orange liqueur, so I used orange extract it worked just fine. The strawberry sauce was good, although it taste a little like a smoothie.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe was very sweet and delicious. We found that the liqueur was a bit strong and have cut it out. Also good with cherries substituted for strawberries

ReplyDeleteI know the toast is stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries. Is it good for breakfast? If so, can I have the recipe for that along with some amazing breakfast ideas? I enjoy having scrambled eggs but getting a little tired of making them so I am just hoping that anyone can come up with amazing breakfast recipes! Thank you very much!

ReplyDeleteEasy and really good! Made no changes to the recipe and everyone liked it. Made just enough for our little family.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a delicious restaurant favorite made easy with Roman Meal.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice add-on to a favorite - french toast. Can't wait to surprise my honey Sunday morning breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThis works great, but don't use frozen strawberries! They contain more water & will make cream cheese runny! Will try dehydrated berries next time!
ReplyDeleteVery delicious. I am going to the grocery store tomorrow and get the ingredients. I can't hardly wait to have a taste of it.
ReplyDeleteNow this is how french toast should be made, what time is breakfast.
