- 8 slices of thick brioche or challah bread,
- 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened,
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam,
- 4 large eggs,
- 1 cup whole milk,
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract,
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon,
- Butter for frying,
- Powdered sugar for dusting,
- Fresh strawberries for serving,
Spread a thick layer of softened cream cheese on one side of 4 bread slices. Top the cream cheese with a layer of strawberry jam, then cover with the remaining slices of bread to form a sandwich.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Make sure it’s well-coated but not soggy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, cook the soaked sandwiches until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Cut the French toast in half or serve as whole sandwiches, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh strawberries. Serve warm with extra strawberry jam or syrup if desired.
