Strawberry Mascarpone STUFFED French Toast
This strawberry mascarpone stuffed french toast combines sweet and creamy flavors in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf day-old challah or brioche thick sliced
- 2 cups half 'n' half
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons local honey
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package fresh strawberries sliced thin
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Cut the bread into 3-4 inch thick slices. Slice a “pocket” in the top of each piece – there should be about a half inch of bread between the sides and bottom of the vertical cut.
- Whisk together the eggs, half 'n' half, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the strawberries into thin slices.
- Spread a thin layer of mascarpone in each “pocket” and then stuff with strawberries. Then spread a little bit of mascarpone above the strawberries to “seal” them into the bread slices. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
- Grease a frying pan over medium heat with spray oil or butter. Fry two pieces of bread at a time, searing for 3-4 minutes per side. There should be a crispy crust and soft center. Place the cooked slices on a baking sheet and place in the oven while you cook the other slices.
- Spread a small bit of mascarpone on top of each slice and serve with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Enjoy.
