Bacon-Crusted Fruit-Stuffed French Toast

Bacon-Crusted Fruit-Stuffed French Toast
  • 4 slices bacon
  • Filling:
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 4 strawberries, diced, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 slices bread
  • Egg Wash:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 sprig mint leaves, slivered


  1. Place bacon slices in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to paper towels; dice. Reserve bacon grease.
  2. Blend cream cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, and sugar in a separate bowl. Fold strawberries and lemon juice into the filling.
  3. Divide filling between 2 slices of bread, spreading it out to the edges. Cover with remaining 2 slices of bread. Press sandwiches lightly together.
  4. Mix eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and salt in a shallow bowl to make egg wash.
  5. Melt 1 1/2 teaspoon reserved bacon grease and 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the diced bacon evenly in the skillet. Dip 1 side of each sandwich in the egg wash. Place on top of the bacon in the skillet; cook until eggs are set and slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  6. Melt remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon bacon grease and 1 1/2 teaspoon butter in the skillet. Sprinkle remaining diced bacon in the skillet. Dip the second side of each sandwich in egg wash and return to the skillet; cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Cut sandwiches in half and garnish with mint.
