Florida Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

Ingredients

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine softened goat cheese, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Prepare bread by making a pocket in each slice (do not cut all the way through). Using a small spoon fill each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon goat cheese mixture, spreading evenly. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons diced strawberries and seal by pressing edges together. Continue until all slices have been stuffed. Reserve ½ cup strawberries for toppings. Place into a baking dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Pour mixture over stuffed bread slices and allow to soak for a minimum of 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons butter. Cook each slice of bread on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.

Fresh tip: Any variety of bread will work using this recipe to include: sourdough, whole wheat or French bread. You can also substitute cream cheese for goat cheese.
