INSTRUCTIONS

For the strawberry syrup: To make the strawberry syrup, combine the strawberries, sugar and lemon (juice and zest) in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the syrup has reduced by half. Remove from heat and let cool before serving. For the French toast: Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl and set aside. Spread cream cheese on half of the bread slices and strawberry jam on the other half. Make sandwiches, and lightly pinch around the edges to seal. Melt butter on a griddle over medium-low heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg batter for a few seconds on each side and place on the hot griddle. Cook until golden brown (about three minutes per side). Allow to cool slightly, then cut each sandwich corner to corner to reveal the stuffing. Place on plate and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar if desired. Serve with warm strawberry syrup.
