Sweet Awakening: Cream Cheese Strawberry French Toast Muffins
Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup strawberries, chopped
8 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Bread Mixture: In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes, strawberries, and cream cheese pieces until well mixed. Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin cups.
Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour this mixture over the bread in each muffin cup, filling nearly to the top.
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the egg mixture is set.
Serving: Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with additional maple syrup if desired.
