Instructions
To make the cream cheese filling, place softened cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of strawberry preserves in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
8 ounce cream cheese, 3 tbsp strawberry preserves
Cut French bread into six 1 1/2 inch to 2-inch slices. Reserve end pieces for another use. Cut a pocket into the side of each slice, being careful not to go all the way to the bottom.
1 loaf French bread
Stuff each pocket with cream cheese mixture.
Spray a 9 x 13 dish with cooking spray. Arrange slices flat in the dish.
In a bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and vanilla until well blended. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the bread in the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
4 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Remove cover and bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve with strawberry syrup
To make syrup
Place 1 cup of strawberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and pourable consistency. Serve warm over warm stuffed french toast.
