Strawberry French Toast

 


My daughter loves strawberries, and she loves pink! When I asked her what she wanted for dinner on her birthday, she gave me a blank look. I quickly started thinking about what her favorite foods are. Sausage links popped into my head, then french toast, but how could I make it birthday worthy? Strawberries quickly came to mind next, and this recipe fell into place. It was a big winner with the whole family. I hope it will be a winner with yours as well!

Ingredients for the toast:
  • 6 slices of Texas toast
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Non-stick cooking spray
Ingredients for the strawberries:
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish:
  • Strawberry cream cheese
  • Whipped cream
  • Real maple syrup
Directions: In a rectangular casserole dish, add eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Soak bread in the mixture until absorbed, about 15 minutes. While the bread is soaking, slice strawberries, add sugar and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Spray the griddle with a non-stick cooking spray. Add prepared bread to the griddle and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Spread a layer of strawberry cream cheese on the toast, garnish with prepared strawberries, whipped cream, and real maple syrup. Enjoy!
