Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
Strawberry Stuffed French Toast
"This strawberry stuffed french toast recipe is so simple, but you’ll feel like you’re in a gourmet brunch cafe. Get ready for people to beg for your recipe! Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, I recommend putting them back on a hot pan for a few minutes on each side. When you are done grilling your toast, place the cooked slices in an oven-safe pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Turn your oven to the warm setting or the lowest temperature it will allow. Once the oven preheats, turn the oven off and place the pan inside. That way, the french toast will stay hot without cooking anymore or drying out. Perfect hot breakfast every time!"
