A delightful twist on classic French toast, filled with creamy goodness and topped with sweet strawberries and whipped cream.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of half the bread slices, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
Use a butter knife or spatula for even spreading.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Allow the bread to soak briefly for better absorption.
Heat butter on a griddle over medium heat and cook the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the griddle.
Top the cooked sandwiches with fresh strawberries and whipped cream before serving.
Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
