Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 8 (2 oz) thick slices bread
• 2 bananas, very thinly sliced
• 1 cup strawberries, very thinly sliced
• 4 Tbl. butter
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• Maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Combine milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Set aside.

For assembly, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese onto 1 side of the bread slices. Top half the lices with the fruit. Place another piece of bread on top, cream cheese side down, creating a sandwich.

Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees. Lightly brush with the butter.

Give the milk mixture a quick stir, and dip the sandwiches into the batter, coating all sides.

Place on the griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, then turn on the edges and cook to brown evenly.

To serve, slice sandwiches in half on the diagonal and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
