How to Make Banana Strawberry And Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, mashed banana, softened cream cheese, and strawberry jam until well mixed.
- Cut the bread slices in half, creating 12 pieces. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each bread slice, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom crust.
- Fill each bread pocket generously with the strawberry banana cream cheese mixture.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the stuffed French toast slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- While the French toast is cooking, prepare the strawberry sauce: In a blender, combine 2 cups of frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth and thick.
- Stack the cooked French toast in a glass dish and keep warm in a low oven (200°F) until all servings are ready.
- To serve, place a piece of French toast on a plate.
- Drizzle generously with the strawberry sauce.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with fresh blueberries.
