Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients. I always reach for fresh, ripe strawberries and high-quality cream cheese because those flavors really shine through in the final dish. The bread you use matters too—thick slices like brioche or challah work best, soaking up the custard without falling apart. Over the years, I’ve learned that simple, fresh ingredients elevate this French toast from ordinary to memorable.

  • 8 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Butter or oil, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Substitution tips: If you prefer, Greek yogurt can replace cream cheese for a lighter filling, and almond or oat milk works fine instead of whole milk. Just keep the bread thick and sturdy for the best results.

Instructions

  1. Start by spreading about 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese on one side of each bread slice.
  2. Layer sliced strawberries evenly over half of the bread slices, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
  5. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20 seconds per side. Make sure it’s fully coated but not soggy.
  6. Place the sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  7. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining sandwiches.
  8. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy the melty, sweet, and tangy flavors.
