{Strawberry Stuffed French Toast}

If you feel like totally feel like forgetting healthy and want to think fattening then indulge and eat this. I made this at breakfast for the men in my life on Valentine's Day. They loved it. I loved it too. It was sooooo good. :)

Filling:

1 Cup Sliced Fresh Strawberries

2 TBSP. sugar

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

Toast:

4 thick slices of bread, such as challah or Italian Bread

1 large egg

3/4 cup milk

2 TBSP. melted butter

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup flour

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/5 tsp. salt

Unsalted butter

Directions:

For filling, Stir together the strawberries and sugar and set aside for 15 minutes. Then stir in the cream cheese until blended well.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully cut a pocket into the center of your bread. In a shallow baking dish, wisk together the egg and milk. Wisk in the melted butter and the vanilla. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, and salt until well blended.

Fill the pocket in your bread with the filling mixture. I stuffed mine full. :) Place the filled slices of bread in the egg mixture, allowing to soak about 30 seconds each side.

Add 1 TBSP. butter to the skillet. Add the filled slices of toast to the skillet and cook until golden or about 2 minutes each side.
