Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with Berries

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 4 slices brioche or challah bread, sliced 1-inch thick
• 3 whole eggs
• ½ cup heavy cream, cold
• 1 cup fresh raspberries and blueberries, mixed
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar, divided

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix cream cheese and 1 tbsp sugar until smooth. Spread onto 2 bread slices, then top with sliced strawberries. Sandwich with remaining bread slices.

2. 2

   Whisk eggs with 1 tbsp sugar and 1/4 cup milk (or water) in a shallow bowl until well combined.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it sizzles. Dip both sides of each sandwich into egg mixture for 3 seconds per side.

4. 4

   Place sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy outside, with warm custard inside.

5. 5

   While French toast cooks, whip cold heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 1 minute.

6. 6

   Transfer French toast to plates, top with whipped cream and mixed berries, and serve immediately.
