Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 8 slice thick-cut brioche bread
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for topping)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
- 1 cup strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Slice the strawberries thinly and place them in a bowl.Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the strawberries and stir gently.Let the strawberries sit for 10-15 minutes. This process allows them to release their natural juices and create a sweet syrup that enhances the flavor of your French toast.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. This mixture will serve as the luscious filling for your French toast sandwiches.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract.Ensure the mixture is well combined. This egg mixture will soak into the brioche bread and give your French toast its rich, custardy texture.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each slice of brioche bread.Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.Top with another slice of brioche bread to create a sandwich. Press down gently to ensure everything sticks together.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Dust the finished sandwiches with extra powdered sugar.Serve with maple syrup if desired.
