Ingredients

Filling:

1 (8-ounce) box cream cheese softened
1/4 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups diced fresh strawberries

Custard

4 eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 - 10 slices Texas Toast or thick brioche bread

Instructions

Prepare a large frying pan with pan spray.
In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese (8 ounces), sugar (1/4 cup), heavy cream (1/4 cup), and vanilla (1 teaspoon). Beat until completely smooth and creamy; set aside.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate add the eggs (4) and milk (3/4 cup) and whisk together aggressively to mix both into each other and create a little air to the mixture. Add the cinnamon (1 teaspoon) and vanilla (1 teaspoon) and whisk again until evenly mixed in. Set aside while you assemble the stuffed bread.
Turn your pan on medium low and assemble your french toast. Take one slice of the Texas toast and spread about an inch thick amount of the cream cheese spread. Top the cream cheese with enough diced strawberries to cover the cream cheese and press them in a little to the mixture to hold them in place. Repeat to make 4 french toast “sandwiches”
Keeping the french toast “sandwich” together, place it in the custard on one side and allow it to soak for a few seconds, then carefully flip it over and soak the other side for a few seconds. Place on the heated pan and start another one. Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the custard is mostly browned on each side. Remove and place on a serving plate and top with more strawberries and powdered sugar.
