Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 thick slices of bread
  • ½ cup chopped strawberries (110 g)
  • ¼ cup cream cheese (90 g)
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp milk (30 mL)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (2.5 mL)
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • Oil or butter for cooking

Instruction

  • Cut a slit in one side of the each slice of bread to form a pocket.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the strawberries, cream cheese, sugar, and salt. Gently spoon the mixture evenly into the bread pockets, being careful not to poke a hole in the bread.
  • In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Gently lay each stuffed bread into the egg mixture, letting each side of the bread soak up as much egg as possible.
  • Add a touch of oil or butter to a pan and bring to medium/low heat. Cook each side of the bread until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Serve warm, topped with maple syrup, Greek yogurt, honey, or slivered almonds.
