Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons strawberry preserves
8 slices country white bread
2 eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar; mix well then stir in the preserves.
Spread equally over 4 bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, forming sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, completely coating both sides. Cook 2 sandwiches at a time for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet and cook the remaining 2 sandwiches.
Slice each in half diagonally and serve.
