Mother's Day and a treat ....
How about making Mom some French inspired toast this weekend ... stuffed with strawberry flavored cheese and topped with fresh strawberries ... or as in France "fraises fraîches"
Here's the recipe plain and simple ... it really is delicious, I've made it a few times ...sorry no pictures, but I'll be sure to take some this weekend!
Fraise {Strawberry} French Toast
8oz Ricotta Cheese
8 oz Cream Cheese
1 Jar strawberry ice cream topping
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 Loaf sour dough bread, sliced thick
3 Eggs
½ cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon sugar mixture
½ stick butter
Fresh strawberries for topping
Directions:
Combine ricotta and cream cheese until smooth. Add ¼ cup ice cream topping. Add 2 Tbsp powdered sugar. Set aside. Mix together in a small bowl, the cinnamon/sugar, milk, and eggs. Set aside. Spread each slice of bread with about 3-4 Tbsp of the strawberry cheese mixture. Press two slices together to form a sandwich. Dip the sandwich into the milk and egg mixture. Heat half the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Carefully, add the French toast. Cook until lightly brown on each side, about 3-5 minutes. Remove to plate and let cool slightly. Top the French toast with more more strawberry ice cream topping, fresh strawberries, and powdered sugar.
