Ingredients

– 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 2 tbsp powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in half of the strawberry slices.
2. Assemble the toast: Spread the cream cheese mixture between two slices of bread to make a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices.

5. Serve: Slice in half, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with extra strawberries.

Tips

– Use thick bread to prevent sogginess.
– Let the stuffed toast sit for a minute before slicing for neat portions.
