Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced thin
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Stir cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth.
  2. Whisk eggs, milk, remaining vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow bowl. Slice strawberries.
  3. Spread filling on 4 bread slices, top with half the strawberries, and sandwich with remaining bread.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip sandwiches in custard for 20 seconds per side, then cook until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  5. Serve hot, topped with the remaining fresh strawberry slices and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Any berries work here, and you can double the recipe to feed a group. Keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the rest.
