Guava Stuffed French Toast
Servings 2
Ingredients
Guava sauce
- 4 tablespoons guava jam
- 2 tablespoons warm water
French toast
- 3 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
- ½ tablespoons butter softened at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon guava jam
- ⅓ cup chopped strawberries
- 4 slices challah or brioche bread sliced 1-inch thick
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes cereal
- 1 tablespoon butter divided
- ¼ cup sliced strawberries optional
Instructions
- Make the guava sauce. Combine guava jam with water and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
- Beat together cream cheese, ½ tablespoon of butter, and guava jam until smooth. Fold in chopped strawberries and spread evenly on 2 slices of bread. Top with remaining slices of bread.
- Whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Place crushed cereal in another shallow bowl. Dip the french toast in the egg batter, turning to coat. Remove from the egg batter and coat with the crushed cereal, making sure to coat both sides.
- Preheat a griddle or nonstick pan on medium-low heat. Add ½ tablespoon butter and melt. Carefully lay the coated french toast in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining butter, flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.
- Place french toast on plates and top with fresh strawberries if desired. Drizzle with the guava sauce and serve.
