“Doubtless God could have made a better berry (than the strawberry), but doubtless God never did." - William Allen Butler
Since our family likes a late breakfast early lunch on weekend days, I thought this recipe would hit the spot. Mom and Dad's TV is out of order so they came over and watched me make this recipe and we made them sample it as well! The batter is typical french toast batter and the stuffing is simple too. It took longer to slice the berries than anything else! I spread cream cheese on each slice and then covered the cheese with strawberries. I also used a little granular sugar in the berries since they were out of season and not real ripe. James and Walker LOVED this saying it tasted like strawberry cheesecake. Dad did not like the cream cheese, and I liked it a lot better with maple syrup!
T.J.'s Cream Cheese and Strawberry-Stuffed French Toast
pg. 173 The Deen Family Cookbook
2eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp sugar
4 oz.cream cheese
12slices of white bread
1cup sliced fresh strawberries
butter, for cooking
maple syrup and confectioners sugar, for serving
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk,and sugar. (I also added a bit of cinnamon). Spread the cream cheese on 6 slices of the bread. Divided the berries among the 6 slices and place on bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread and press to seal.
2. Melt butter on the griddle over med-low heat. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side. Cook sandwiches until golden brown, sprinkle with confectioners sugar, and top with maple syrup
