Cream Cheese Strawberry French Toast

 Cream Cheese Strawberry French Toast

 

Remember that Frozen Strawberry Pie I made this past week?  I had leftover filling and wondered what I could do with it. There wasn’t enough to make another pie but just enough to make this incredible Stuffed Strawberry French toast this morning.  OMG.  Decadent and delicious!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cream Cheese Strawberry French Toast

4 thick slices of bread (regular works too)

2 tablespoons butter for frying

 Filling:

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 (6 ounce) Yo Plait Strawberry yogurt

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

  Egg Batter:

 

2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filling

Using a hand mixer, beat the sweetened condensed milk and the two blocks of cream cheese together in a bowl until smooth. Fold in the chopped strawberries and the yogurt using a wooden spoon or spatula. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gently spread a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on one slice of the bread and top with another slice. Repeat with remaining bread. Refrigerate the prepared bread slices while you prepare the batter. This helps the filling stay firm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the egg batter, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Add in the milk, vanilla, and ground cinnamon and mix well. Set aside. Remove bread slices from refrigerator.

 

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. While butter is melting, dip the bread in the egg and milk mixture just enough to coat each side. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Place in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep warm in the oven on a cookie sheet at 200 degrees F. until ready to serve.
