Strawberry Stuffed French Toast is one of our favorite weekend breakfasts for slow mornings. It comes together fast too.
We all have it, the under used, under appreciated appliance. Ours just happens to be the Betty Crocker Stuff-n-Munch. I was feeling a bit of guilt for being out of town over Valentine’s Day, so I thought nothing says “I love you”, like a little stuff-n-munch. We typically use this little sandwich maker for just regular grilled cheese sandwiches, but this time around it was made for Strawberry Stuffed french toast! It was delicious, and so easy! It’s perfect for Stuffed French Toast because it keeps the strawberries and sweet cream cheese inside while the outside gets golden brown.
Ingredients:
- 6 slices white bread
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 small container fresh strawberries washed, trimmed and sliced
- For the Sweetened Cream Cheese:
- 1/2 package cream cheese (4oz.)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- powdered sugar *optional garnish
How to make Strawberry Stuffed French Toast:
- Make the Sweetened Cream Cheese:
With your hand mixer or stand mixer, mix together the cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar and vanilla until smooth. - Prepare the strawberries: wash, trim and slice them.
- Make the French Toast:
- In a large bowl mix together the eggs and milk. Once combine, pour into a glass pie plate for easy dipping.
- If using a sandwich maker, plug it in to let it warm up. (If using a skillet, let it warm up and lightly grease it with butter.)
- Assemble the bread slices with a spread of the sweetened cream cheese on the inside of each slice. Place the sliced strawberries on one half of the sandwich. With the the two pieces of bread together like a sandwich, dredge both sides of the bread into the egg mixture.
- Lightly spray the sandwich maker with nonstick cooking spray. Working two sandwiches at a time, add them to the preheated sandwich maker to cook.
- Serve with powdered sugar, syrup and more fresh strawberries.
More Ways to serve Stuffed French Toast:
You can choose to serve this stuffed with just the sweetened cream cheese filling and then serve it with different things. Here are some of the ways we like to enjoy it:
- Buttermilk Syrup
- Fresh Berries: raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or strawberries
- drizzle of honey
- maple syrup
- cinnamon sugar mixture
- candies sliced nuts like almonds or pecans
- banana slices
What kind of bread is best for French Toast:
You can really make french toast with any kind of bread, but we have found that brioche, challah or french bread all make really good french toast. We have found that even the cheapest white bread works great for French Toast. The trick is to not let the bread sit in the egg and milk mixture too long to get too soggy. Quickly dredge each side of the bread before cooking.
