Step 1

In a small mixing bow, beat the cream cheese, marshmallow creme and vanilla until smooth; set aside.

For syrup, in a small saucepan, bring strawberries and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 mins. Combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into berry mixture. Return to a boil; cook and stir for 2 mins. or until thickened. Remove from the heat; keep warm.

In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk, dip both sides of bread in egg mixture. On a lightly greased hot griddle, cook bread over medium heat for 2 mins. on each side or until golden brown. To serve, spread each piece of French toast with cream cheese mixture; top with strawberry syrup.
