Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast With Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the jam and a pinch of salt and continue to beat until thoroughly combined. Using a paring knife, make a slit in each bread slice about 2 to 3 inches long and deep; this pocket will hold the filling. Using an offset spatula, divide and stuff the filling equally into the pockets, making sure it's not a big lump. Set aside.
• In a shallow dish, add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix with a fork until combined. Dip the challah into the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let sit and soak while you heat your butter.
• In a large nonstick skillet, add the butter and heat over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the challah, allowing any excess egg mixture to drip off, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Place the French toast on a serving dish. Serve with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and garnished with strawberries.
• In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, orange zest and salt and whisk together. In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, orange juice, oil and 2 of the eggs.
• Add the wet to the flour mixture; stir to combine. Knead, either by hand on a floured surface or with a dough hook on medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary (but resist any urge to add too much!), until you have a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
• Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours. (Alternatively, chill the dough in the refrigerator overnight, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before shaping.)
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Divide each into 3 logs and braid. Place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart. Cover loosely and let rise 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the loaves with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until they are golden and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F; begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly and enjoy. (Challah is best eaten within 24 hours. After that it's ok if you toast it or use it for French toast. It also freezes well!)

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese filling ingredients in bowl using enough powdered sugar to make a spreading consistency, and set aside.
• Spread out the slices of the cinnamon bread and spread a little cream cheese filling on each and put two together to make a "sandwich".
• In another bowl mix the 3 eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla well with a whisk and dip the sandwiches in this mixture and then fry them in a little melted butter until browned on each side.
• We use the large electric griddle for this.
• Top the fried sandwiches with a little powdered sugar dusting and then strawberry sauce and whip cream and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place bread cubes on a baking pan.
• Toast bread cubes in the preheated oven until dry and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with softened butter. Add bread cubes, strawberries, and cream cheese dollops randomly to the dish.
• Whisk eggs, half-and-half, cream, sugar, and ginger together in a separate medium bowl. Pour egg mixture over bread and strawberries, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Remove casserole from the refrigerator 1 hour before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make the streusel topping by mixing sugar, flour, butter, and ginger with a fork until moist crumbs form.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle streusel on top. Continue baking until top is golden, about 30 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, strawberry preserves, and orange zest until smooth. Set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and orange liqueur. Pour into a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate. Set aside.
• With a pairing knife, slice a pocket into the side of the bread. Do not cut all of the way through the bread. Fill bread slices with a heaping spoonful of cream cheese mixture.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip the filled bread in the egg mixture and place in the skillet to brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices.
• Serve hot with additional Strawberry Cream Cheese on the side.
• Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse to combine.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Spread 2 tablespoons on 4 slices of bread; top with remaining bread to make 4 sandwiches. Beat eggs, milk and remaining vanilla; dip sandwiches. , In a large skillet, melt butter. Toast sandwiches until golden brown on both sides. To serve, top each sandwich with 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture and 1/4 cup strawberries.

Steps:

• Cut each slice of bread in half.
• Beat eggs with milk and pinch of salt.
• In separate bowl, mash cheese until smooth with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, adjusting to taste.
• Spread one-fourth of cheese filling evenly over four slices of bread.
• Top with unspread slices of bread to form half-sandwiches.
• Dip and soak each sandwich in egg-milk mixture, turning so both sides of each sandwich absorb liquid.
• Let excess drip off.
• Heat unsalted butter in 10 inch skillet, and when hot but not brown, add sandwiches.
• Reduce heat and fry slowly for 5 to 7 minutes, or until first side is golden.
• Turn and brown second side over low heat.
• If sandwiches fry too quickly, filling will not be warm.
• Serve immediately, allowing 2 halves to each portion.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and top with sour cream and strawberries.
