Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 loaf French bread
- 1 tsp butter
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the strawberries and 1/2 cup white sugar over medium heat.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together and add to the strawberries.
-
Cook and stir until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer while preparing remaining ingredients, stirring occasionally.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
-
Mix the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup white sugar together in a bowl, until smooth.
-
Cut your French bread into slices that are 2 inches thick. Then cut a slit in each of the slices that reaches almost to the back, but doesn't break through the other side.
-
Use a spatula to stuff the cream cheese mixture into the bread. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
-
In a large skillet, heat the butter over low-medium heat.
-
Dip the stuffed bread in the egg mixture, covering both sides and letting the excess drip off, then place in the skillet.
-
Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
-
Top with strawberry syrup, whipped cream, and powdered sugar, if desired.
