Description
A luxurious breakfast featuring brioche laden with tangy-sweet strawberry cream cheese filling, dipped in custard-like batter, and seared to golden perfection. This showstopping dish balances crisp texture with creamy, fruity indulgence.
Ingredients
4 large brioche slices
8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese
1 ½ cups strawberries
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tbsp butter
Blend strawberries with sugar in a food processor until smooth
In a bowl, stir cream cheese into strawberry purée until completely smooth
Chill filling in refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up
Butter one side of each brioche slice
Spread ¼ cup filling on unbuttered side of 2 slices
Top with remaining slices buttered side down to form 2 sandwiches
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon
Dip each sandwich into batter to fully coat (4-6 seconds per side)
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and custard is set
Notes
Use day-old brioche for optimal texture
Full-fat cream cheese ensures richness
Chilling sandwiches prevents bread from disintegrating
Thawed frozen strawberries work well
Adjust batter dipping time for crust thickness
