Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. This creates a tremendously creamy texture, perfect for stuffing. Fold in the sliced strawberries gently to maintain some of their shape and flavor.
-
Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread and top it with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices, ensuring that each sandwich is filled with a tremendous amount of the strawberry cheesecake filling.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until fully combined. This will be the custard mixture that soaks the bread, imparting rich flavor and a soft texture.
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a generous pat of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface of the skillet evenly for frying.
-
Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving that perfectly tender and flavorful custard base. Fry the stuffed sandwiches in the skillet until they are golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup for an added touch of sweetness that perfectly complements the flavors of the filling.
