Sweet Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
We love making new breakfast recipes on the weekends! My kids come to visit and we love creating new things to eat. Probably our all-time favorites are either waffles or french toast. And this time of year the strawberries are out in full force. We LOVE strawberries!!
There are two secrets to making this dish amazing – one is I used strawberry pie filling as a base and added fresh strawberries to it. A dollop in the center of the bread creates a sweet gooey filling. The other trick is a sweet cream cheese mixture. The two are combined inside of the french toast and they create an amazing gooey creamy sauce filled with sweet strawberries.
Then I dipped the bread in an almond egg batter and cooked it to golden brown. Top the french toast with fresh strawberries, whipped cream and powdered sugar for a breakfast that rivals any pancake house. This dish would be perfect to whip up for your man for father’s day!
Because this dish is thicker than regular french toast, you cook it at a lower temperature to make sure it cooks thoroughly without burning. Put your burner on medium low heat, put the french toast on your pan and cover it for 2 minutes until the underside is brown and then flip it over and cook it covered for another 2 minutes. Here’s the easy recipe:
Sweet Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
- 1 loaf bread
- 2 cups strawberry pie filling
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
