Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer (or handheld mixer) to beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. If you don't have a mixer, you can use a wooden spoon, but ensure both ingredients are well softened to make mixing easier.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to beat until the filling reaches a creamy and spreadable consistency.

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling on one slice of brioche bread, then top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat this for all the slices of bread.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

Dip each cream cheese-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly.

Place the dipped sandwich on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, top the stuffed French toast with fresh strawberries, extra maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
