Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Thick brioche bread (can substitute with challah or Texas toast)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened; can substitute with mascarpone)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk (whole milk or almond milk works well)

- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (sliced for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Blueberries/Raspberries (optional, for extra flavor and color)
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Cut a pocket in each slice of brioche bread and stuff it with the cream cheese mixture.
- Beat eggs and mix with milk in a separate bowl.
- Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the stuffed slices.
