Strawberry French Toast

Because several have asked about it:

Strawberry French Toast/Stuffed French Toast*

Eggs & milk for dipping toast
Cream cheese
Powder sugar
White sugar
French bread (works with regular bread too)
Cool Whip
Frozen or fresh strawberries

Dump strawberries into a pot over the stove and put on warm heat. While making the toast, periodically mash berries until they create a sauce. Add sugar to sweeten, and keep on low heat until toast is served.

When slicing bread keep two pieces connected - don't slice through all the way. You don't have to keep the bread connected, but it tends to help when frying. Set aside until time to stuff.

For every 8oz. (1 brick) of cream cheese, combine 1 cup of powder sugar with it. Beat until fluffy, and all the lumps are gone. Sometimes a little extra powder sugar is needed depending upon your preference. Stuff bread with filling amply. More is better than less. If you're afraid you will run out of stuffing, fill them just a little bit than add the leftovers to even them all out.

Crack eggs into a bowl and add a little milk to make it creamy. Dip stuffed toast in, covering both sides with egg mixture. Throw on griddle, into a frying pan or on the burning hot Arizona sidewalk and fry. :)

Ladle strawberries on top and add a dolop of cool whip. Now gorge yourself in deliciousness.

*Amounts:
-For large batches a dozen eggs may be needed, for smaller batches you could probably get away with using just 6 eggs.
-People eat about 2 pieces each (boys-3). Depending upon how big the loaves are you can feed about 10-15 people with 4-5 loaves. In my family if we're feeding all of us we use about 5 loaves (that's 15 people), and that takes about 5 bricks of cream cheese. It's not hard to mix up more filling so sometimes I buy an extra brick just in case I run out of filling.
