Step 1
Spread cream cheese on one side of each bread slice. Layer strawberry slices on two slices, then top with remaining bread to make two sandwiches.
Step 2
Whisk eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl until fully combined.
Step 3
Heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until it foams, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Dip both sandwich sides into egg mixture (2–3 seconds per side) and place in the hot skillet. Cook 3–4 minutes until deep golden brown.
Step 5
Flip and cook the other side 3–4 minutes until golden and the bread feels crispy at the edges.
Step 6
Warm mixed berries in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring gently. Plate the French toast and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, warm berry compote, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.
