Strawberry-Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 slices brioche bread
• 2 eggs
• 0.333 cup milk
• 1 tbsp sugar (The source gives a range of 1–2 tablespoons.)
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 6 tbsp cream cheese
• 0.5 cup fresh strawberries (Diced.)
• butter (For frying; amount not specified.)
• ice cream (For serving, optional amount; use your favorite ice cream.)
• pistachios (Chopped and optional, for serving; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and sugar until well combined. Set the egg mixture aside.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese and maple syrup. Beat with an electric beater for 2–3 minutes, until smooth.

3. 3

   Add the diced strawberries to the cream cheese mixture and mix until incorporated.

4. 4

   Place the strawberry filling on a slice of brioche bread. Cover it with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.

5. 5

   Dip each stuffed bread sandwich in the egg mixture, coating it as directed in the source.

6. 6

   Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat.

7. 7

   Cook the stuffed bread in the pan until nice and golden. Turn as needed so the bread cooks and browns on both sides.

8. 8

   Serve with your favorite ice cream and chopped pistachios, if desired.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of butter, the exact cooking time, or whether the bread should be dipped on one or both sides. It also lists ice cream and chopped pistachios as optional serving accompaniments.
