Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese and orange marmalade until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the French toast

    Spread the cream cheese mixture on two slices of brioche. Top with the remaining two slices to create sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Make the custard mixture

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

  4. 4

    Dip the sandwiches

    Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

  5. 5

    Cook the French toast

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the dipped sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Pain Perdu warm, topped with fresh mixed berries, a drizzle of strawberry purée, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
