Instructions
- 1
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla until smooth and spreadable. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on one side of 4 bread slices. Lay sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese. Top each with a second slice of bread and press gently to form a stuffed sandwich.

Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a shallow bowl. Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich in the egg mixture, soaking 20–30 seconds per side — be gentle so the filling doesn't squeeze out.

Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook stuffed French toast 3–4 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and the egg is fully cooked. Adjust heat if browning too quickly — the filling insulates the center and it needs time to heat through. Serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh strawberries.
