How to Make French Toast With Caramelized Pecans Strawberries And Cream

  1. In a food processor, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 4 ounces cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  3. Dip 6 slices of your favorite bread (challah or brioche recommended) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated and soaked. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Cook the French toast slices for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While the French toast cooks, prepare the caramelized pecans: In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add 1/2 cup pecan halves and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and the pecans are coated in a sticky caramel.
  7. Slice 1 cup fresh strawberries.
  8. Serve the French toast immediately. Top each slice with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture, a generous sprinkle of caramelized pecans, and sliced strawberries.
