Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

Jump to recipe!

[donotprint]We love breakfast! We love breakfast food for breakfast. We love breakfast food for lunch. And at least 2 times per month, we have breakfast food for dinner.

We typically have fried potatoes, eggs of some sort and pancakes or waffles. But, I have been wanting to make Strawberry Stuffed French Toast…forever! So when I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter contacted me about sharing a recipe with toast…I knew exactly what I wanted to make.

Now, this might look like your normal, everyday, French Toast with a little strawberry sauce on top…oh but it’s not! It is stuffed with a cream cheese and strawberry goodness that you will want to eat by the spoonful!

It also looks difficult to make, but it’s actually very easy. Here is what you will need…
