Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart Fresh Strawberries (washed in quarter inch slices)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Italian Loaf Bread
  • 5 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup half and half or whole milk
  • 1 tbsp group cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp powder sugar
  • 2 cups syrup
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

  • In sauce pan, mix sliced strawberries and granulated sugar on medium to high heat for approx 2 mins. Stir the entire time. Let cool slightly.
  • Slice the Italian bread into 2.5 inch slices. Then take each slice of bread, stand up and cut 3/4 of inch from the top down to make pocket in the bread. (Don't cut all the the way through)
  • Stuff each slice with the strawberry mixture. Fill each pocket a little more than half way. Then press gently to close.
  • Mix eggs, vanilla, and half-and-half (or milk). Gently batter each side of the bread slices. Then place in a hot skillet on medium heat. Cook approx. 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from heat and dust with cinnamon and powder sugar.
  • In a small sauce pan, add syrup and butter. Heat until butter is melted. Mix thoroughly. Drizzle the syrup over the stuffed strawberry french toast and serve.
