Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 slices bread
- ½ cup (120 ml) diced strawberries
- ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Filling Preparation: Whip softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a luxurious, velvety consistency, then gently fold in freshly diced strawberries for a vibrant fruity dimension.
- Sandwich Construction: Layer the strawberry-infused cream cheese mixture generously across bread slices, carefully topping with matching pieces to form complete sandwiches.
- Egg Mixture Creation: Vigorously blend eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a wide bowl until the liquid becomes uniformly smooth and slightly aerated.
- Sandwich Coating: Immerse each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring thorough coating on both sides by gentle turning and pressing.
- Skillet Transformation: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melting butter to create a golden, aromatic cooking surface.
- Cooking Process: Carefully place egg-soaked sandwiches into the buttered skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until achieving a crisp, caramelized golden-brown exterior.
- Serving Presentation: Transfer the golden French toast sandwiches to serving plates, garnishing with fresh strawberry slices or a delicate snowfall of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Cream Cheese Perfection: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free blending that creates a velvety filling.
- Strawberry Selection: Choose ripe, firm strawberries that are vibrant red and free from bruises to guarantee maximum flavor and texture.
- Bread Matters: Use day-old brioche or challah bread for superior absorption of egg mixture and a more luxurious, custardy interior.
- Cooking Temperature: Maintain medium heat to prevent burning and achieve an evenly golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside soft and creamy.
