COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

  1. In a medium bowl, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Fold in 1 cup diced strawberries and lemon zest. Set aside.
  2. Lay out 4 slices of brioche. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly between 2 brioche slices. Top each cream-cheese’d slice with another slice of brioche to form a sandwich. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and vanilla until well-combined. (If doubling the recipe, don’t double the dredging liquid. It’s enough for 4 sandwiches).
  4. Preheat Char-Broil Scissor Cart Gas Griddle to medium-high heat.
  5. Melt 2 Tbsp butter on Griddle. Working 1 sandwich at a time, dredge sandwich completely in milk and egg mixture on both sides. Brown sandwich for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with other sandwich. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
  6. To serve Stuffed French Toast, top each sandwich with a dusting of powdered sugar, sliced strawberries, and a drizzle of strawberry preserves. Enjoy!
