Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Spread 1 oz cream cheese on two bread slices, divide strawberries between them, top with remaining bread to make 2 sandwiches.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it foams, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, coating both sides for 2–3 seconds per side, then slide into the skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy; the filling should still be warm but not leaking.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate, top with banana slices and maple syrup, and serve immediately.
