Strawberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 8 slices brioche bread (1-inch thick)
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - ¼ cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - ½ cup milk
07 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
08 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
09 - 2 tbsp butter (for cooking)
10 - Maple syrup & extra strawberries (for serving)

# Instructions:

01 - Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and strawberries in a bowl.
02 - Spread filling between two brioche slices to make sandwiches.
03 - Beat eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
04 - Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides.
05 - Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
06 - Dust with powdered sugar and top with syrup and strawberries.

# Notes:

01 - For a make-ahead option, prepare the filling and refrigerate overnight.
02 - Day-old brioche works best as it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
