Strawberry cheesecake French toast

Preparation

Make mum’s morning and bring her a plate of strawberry-cheesecake French toast for a wonderful Mother’s Day breakfast in bed.

1. Put the cream cheese in a bowl with the tablespoon of icing sugar and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
2. Spread all 4 slices of bread with the strawberry jam and slice the strawberries. Divide the cream cheese between 2 of the slices of bread and spread to cover the surface, then cover the cream cheese with the strawberry slices. Cover with the 2 remaining slices of bread, jam-side down.
3. Whisk together the eggs, milk and remaining vanilla extract and put in a shallow dish.
4. Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Soak the sandwiches in the egg mixture, turning until they are well soaked, then transfer to the frying pan and fry until golden brown on the underside. Turn the sandwiches over and continue frying until golden on the other side. Remove from the pan and cut into triangles. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
