Description

This decadent Strawberry Cream Stuffed French Toast combines thick slices of brioche with rich strawberry cream cheese. Make the night before and bake in the morning.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberry jam
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 loaf Brioche or Challah bread, in 1-inch thick slices
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/3 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup + 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 lb. fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Optional Garnishes: confectioner’s sugar, syrup

Instructions

  1. Grease a shallow 30 cm round or oven-safe 9×11″ casserole dish. 
  2. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese and strawberry jam until well-combined and smooth. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on each piece of bread. Gently fold each sliced in half and tuck into the casserole dish.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, orange juice, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and salt. 
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the bread. Cover the casserole dish with a tight fitting lid or foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight (the longer the French toast sits, the more evenly the custard will absorb into the bread). 
  5. When preparing to serve, preheat oven to 350 F. Remove casserole dish from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking. Uncover and bake overnight French Toast for 35-45 minutes, or until top is golden brown. 
  6. While the French toast is baking, toss strawberries with 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or to taste).
  7. When French toast is finished baking, top with fresh berries and dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving.
