Thick brioche french toast stuffed with a sweet cream-cheese filling, topped with fresh strawberries and maple syrup — like dessert, but make it breakfast.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese — softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 slices thick-cut brioche bread
- 1 lb fresh strawberries — hulled and sliced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter — for the griddle
- Warm maple syrup — for serving
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
- 2Toss the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar in a bowl and let them macerate while you work — they will release sweet syrup.
- 3Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and salt together in a shallow baking dish.
- 4Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling on one side of 4 slices of brioche, then top with a second slice to make 4 sandwiches.
- 5Melt half the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip one sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides, and let excess drip off.
- 6Cook 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden and the filling is warm, working in batches and adding more butter as needed.
- 7Serve warm with the macerated strawberries and their syrup spooned over the top, plus warm maple syrup.
