Ingredients

  • For the custard:
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • For the toast:
  • 4–6 thick slices of French bread
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • Zest of half a lemon (about ½ teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup diced strawberries
  • For garnish:
  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Whisk together milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl to make the custard. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, whip cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Fold in diced strawberries.
  3. Cut French bread into thick slices. Spread cream cheese filling on one slice, then top with another to make a sandwich.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter with a little oil.
  5. Dip each sandwich into the custard, coating both sides well.
  6. Cook in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  7. Serve warm with a pat of butter, powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Best with slightly stale or day-old bread to prevent sogginess.
  • Use whipped cream cheese for an airier filling.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing powdered sugar or skipping syrup.
  • Bake at 375°F for 15–20 minutes as a healthier alternative to frying.
  • Try with blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries instead of strawberries.
