STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH STRAWBERRIES

Category: French Toast

8 slices white or wheat bread, cut 1 inch thick
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
6 tbsp strawberry preserves
1 1/3 cups milk
4 eggs
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp confectioners sugar
4 cups sliced strawberries

Cut each bread slice in half crosswise. With a sharp knife cut a horizontal slit in each half slice to make a pocket. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and preserves. Spread 1/16 (approximately) of the mixture inside each bread pocket. Pinch edges of bread together to hold filling.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, egg, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip filled bread slices in egg mixture to coat. Cook about 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Top with strawberries and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
