Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 6 muffins

These Cream Cheese Strawberry French Toast Muffins are stuffed with fresh strawberries and cream cheese. Fun to make and even more fun to eat! This breakfast muffin recipe is perfect for your weekend brunch.

Ingredients
12 slices of white bread
1/4 cup whole milk
1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
2 eggs ½ teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter-melted (to grease the pan)

For filling:
1 Tablespoon sour cream
1 Tablespoon sugar
4 oz. softened cream cheese
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1/3–1/2 cup of fruit (small diced strawberries or blueberries)

For topping:
4 Tablespoons light brown sugar
¼ –½ teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)

Glaze:
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon milk

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Brush cupcake pan with melted butter and set aside. This recipe makes 6 muffins.

Using 4-inch round cookie cutter cut out the center of 6 slices of bread. Using 3-inches cookie cutter cut out remaining 6 slices of bread for tops.

To make the filling stir together cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla and sugar until smooth.

Fold in the fruit, set aside. In another bowl whisk together eggs, milk, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar and vanilla. Dip 4-inches round of bread in the egg mixture, then press into the center of a cupcake cavity. Repeat with remaining rounds.

Divide the filling between the cups. Now use 3-inches circle of bread, dip in egg mixture and place on top of the filling. Gently press the edges to adhere and press into the sides of the pan. Seal it well.

Mix ¼ cup of brown sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle generously on top of each muffin. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and crisp on top. Let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve.

If the muffins are slightly stick to the pan, run a thin knife around each muffin. To make the glaze, stir powdered sugar and milk. If it’s too thick add more milk, and if it’s too thin add more powdered sugar to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over the muffins.
