# Instructions:
01 -
Toss together jam, diced strawberries, vanilla, sugar, and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix it all up till you see no lumps and everything is mixed in.
02 -
Take 4 bread slices and put your filling on them. Place the other slices on top and squish the edges a bit so nothing leaks.
03 -
Beat eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a wide bowl until it all looks blended.
04 -
Quickly dip each stuffed sandwich in the egg mix so all the sides get soaked. If you want, press into graham crumb coating now too.
05 -
Pop some butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook sandwiches a couple of minutes per side, until they're crispy and golden all over.
06 -
Move sandwiches to some paper towels. Slice, sprinkle on powdered sugar, pile on strawberry slices, and pour honey or syrup over if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
Dry your berries well or your filling might get watery.
02 -
Seal the sandwich edges well so filling doesn't ooze into the pan.
