I can eat breakfast for every meal and this Strawberry Stuffed French Toast is no different! Its sweet, savory, and absolutely delicious!
The Recipe
A couple weeks ago on the weekend, I was hungry for something other than our regular weekend breakfast of pancakes. I had some fresh strawberries and I can’t resist a good stuffed french toast, but had one main problem: no cream cheese! Which, I honestly was okay with because I wasn’t interested in consuming all those calories of the creamy goodness, but…the thought of stuffed french toast made me incredibly hungry! So, as I stood at my fridge the wheels began to turn. I pulled out a few ingredients and here is what I ended up with.
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 T corn starch
- 1-2 T powdered sugar
- chopped strawberries
- 2 slices bread
- butter
- In a small bowl combine the Greek yogurt, corn starch, and powdered sugar.
- Whip together with a whisk. Depending on the kind of yogurt you use, you may need a little more corn starch for thickening.
- Stir int he chopped strawberries.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread
- Fill the sandwhich with the filling (butter side out) and fry in hot pan (similar to grilled cheese).
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar
My concoction ended up being quite delicious! It wasn’t quite as sweet as traditional stuffed french toast and a lot less messy without the egg wash, etc. I found it to be filling, but not heavy as other recipes made with cream cheese. The next time I will probably use a bit more corn starch to thicken it and maybe even mix the cream up the night before to allow it to “stand up” over night in the fridge. I also can’t wait to try this with a variety of fresh fruits! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
That looks so yummy and i love the fact that it uses Greek Yogurt instead of cream cheese. Definitely one to save off. Thanks!
No problem! I hope you like it! It was definitely a nice surprise to realize I could make it without cream cheese!! I’m sure flavored yogurt would make it amazingly yummy too!!
Greeks have a special cuisine… love this toast, thanks for sharing it with us! 🙂
This sounds so yummy! I’ve never had stuffed French toast before. I want to try this 🙂
I LOVE stuffed French toast, but hate the calorie count! I’d love to hear what you think!
