For an even richer flavor, consider using brioche bread instead of Italian bread. A splash of Grand Marnier or orange zest in the cream cheese filling adds a touch of sophistication. Serve immediately for the best texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepToast the Almonds: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook and stir sliced almonds until fragrant and golden brown. (3-5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare Strawberry Liquid: Add enough water to the reserved strawberry juice to reach 1 cup of liquid.
03
StepCreate Strawberry Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in the strawberry liquid. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear. Gently fold in the strawberries and toasted almonds. (3-5 minutes)
04
StepMake Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
05
StepPrepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
06
StepAssemble the French Toast: Slice the Italian bread at 1 1/2-inch intervals, cutting about 3/4 of the way through. Create a pocket in the center of each slice and fill with a rounded tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Separate the slices completely.
07
StepCoat in Egg Mixture: Dip each bread slice generously into the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
08
StepCook French Toast: Melt butter on a griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the bread slices until golden brown on both sides. (2-5 minutes per side)
09
StepServe: Drizzle generously with warm strawberry-almond sauce.
