- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries - thawed, drained, and juice reserved
- water as needed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
- Cook and stir almonds in a skillet over medium high heat until fragrant and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add enough water to reserved strawberry liquid to equal 1 cup liquid.
- Stir 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch together in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually stir strawberry liquid into sugar mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is clear and thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir strawberries and almonds into sugar mixture.
- Beat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl.
- Slice bread at 1 1/2-inch intervals about 3/4 of the way through. Cut a slit in the center of each slice to form a pocket, and fill each pocket with 1 rounded tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Separate slices from loaf by cutting each slice the rest of the way through the loaf.
- Dip bread slices in egg mixture to coat completely.
- Melt butter on a griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook bread slices on preheated griddle until golden brown, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Serve French toast with strawberry-almond mixture.
