KOBTV


List of Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) 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 (1/2 stick) butter


Recipe

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.

GARNISHING TIP: Make this look and taste extra-fancy by topping it with additional confectioners' sugar and maple syrup and/or fresh fruit.
