Ingredients
  • French Toast:
  • 1 loaf french bread, cut into ½ inch slices.
  • 12 ounces cream cheese, whipped or regular
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cup milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • Topping:
  • 1 pt whipping cream
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 16 ounce package of fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
  1. For the french toast: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9X13 glass baking pans.
  2. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese between two slices of bread, a little less than the peanut butter thickness on a sandwich, and place sandwiched slices in the buttered pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, crack in the eggs and whip with a whisk. Add the milk, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is uniform.
  4. Pour half the egg mixture over the bread in the first pan and then repeat with the remaining egg mixture and bread in the second pan. Let it sit for five minutes. Turn the bread over and let sit for another five minutes. Play around with the bread and make sure it is covered with the egg mixture and soaking it in.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and puffy. Check the french toast after twenty minutes to make sure the bottom of the bread is not browning too quickly. If it is, adjust your oven rack accordingly. When the french toast is ready, remove from the oven and let it sit for about five minutes before serving.
  6. Serve with whipped cream and strawberries.
  7. For the topping: Add the cream to the metal bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until billowy peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and stir until the sugar is incorporated.
  8. Top with strawberries mixed with sugar and the whipped topping.
