Serve these with scrambled eggs (add some chopped chives for a nice touch), and your choice of breakfast meat.

Ingredients

8 slices white or wheat bread, cut 1 inch thick
8 oz. cream cheese
6 Tbs. strawberry preserves
1 1/3 C. milk
4 eggs
2 tsp. granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 Tbs. powdered sugar
4 C. sliced strawberries

Directions

Cut each bread slice in half crosswise. With a sharp knife, cut a horizontal slit in each half slice to make a pocket. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and preserves. Spread 1/16 (approximately) of the mixture inside each bread pocket. Pinch edges of bread together to hold filling. In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, egg, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip filled bread slices in egg mixture to coat. Cook about 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Top with strawberries and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
