STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Strawberries and Cream Stuffed French Toast image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Kosher salt
Four 1-inch-thick slices Orange Juice Challah, recipe follows
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sweetened condensed milk, for serving
Fresh sliced strawberries, for serving
6 cups (780g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon (1 packet) instant yeast
Zest of 1 orange
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (236ml) warm water
1/2 cup (118ml) orange juice, from about 2 oranges
2/3 cup (132g) flavorless oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the jam and a pinch of salt and continue to beat until thoroughly combined. Using a paring knife, make a slit in each bread slice about 2 to 3 inches long and deep; this pocket will hold the filling. Using an offset spatula, divide and stuff the filling equally into the pockets, making sure it's not a big lump. Set aside.
  • In a shallow dish, add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix with a fork until combined. Dip the challah into the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let sit and soak while you heat your butter.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, add the butter and heat over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the challah, allowing any excess egg mixture to drip off, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Place the French toast on a serving dish. Serve with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and garnished with strawberries.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, orange zest and salt and whisk together. In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, orange juice, oil and 2 of the eggs.
  • Add the wet to the flour mixture; stir to combine. Knead, either by hand on a floured surface or with a dough hook on medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary (but resist any urge to add too much!), until you have a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours. (Alternatively, chill the dough in the refrigerator overnight, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before shaping.)
  • Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Divide each into 3 logs and braid. Place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart. Cover loosely and let rise 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the loaves with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until they are golden and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F; begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly and enjoy. (Challah is best eaten within 24 hours. After that it's ok if you toast it or use it for French toast. It also freezes well!)

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED FRENCH TOAST W/STRAWBERRIES AND WHIP CREAM



Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast W/Strawberries and Whip Cream image

We love Ihops stuffed french toast so much we decided to try to come up with one ourselves. This is really delicious.

Provided by BoJangles

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 7 sandwhiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 loaf pepperidge farm cinnamon-swirl bread (14 slices)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
powdered sugar (a little for dusting top of fried sandwiches)
1 (16 ounce) carton frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, thawed (for topping)
1 (8 ounce) carton frozen Cool Whip, thawed (for topping)
4 ounces softened cream cheese
3 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar (or more)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese filling ingredients in bowl using enough powdered sugar to make a spreading consistency, and set aside.
  • Spread out the slices of the cinnamon bread and spread a little cream cheese filling on each and put two together to make a "sandwich".
  • In another bowl mix the 3 eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla well with a whisk and dip the sandwiches in this mixture and then fry them in a little melted butter until browned on each side.
  • We use the large electric griddle for this.
  • Top the fried sandwiches with a little powdered sugar dusting and then strawberry sauce and whip cream and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bread for your French toast. A sturdy bread, like challah or brioche, will hold up well to the custard and won't get soggy.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened before you mix it with the other ingredients. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill the French toast with cream cheese.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will help to ensure that the toast cooks evenly.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Strawberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup are all classic options.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese-stuffed French toast is a delicious and decadent breakfast or brunch dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
