I’m excited to bring you a new kind of breakfast burger, the Strawberry French Toast Burger! You’re probably familiar with the traditional breakfast burger with bacon, egg, or peanut butter. But I bet you haven’t had a french toast burger!
My sister went out to a restaurant and sent me a picture of a french toast burger bun and that got me thinking, what a great idea! So I went directly to my favorite french toast topping, strawberries.
If you’ve ever had a gourmet burger that combines sweet with the savory burger meat you’ll know how well this can work. But if this is a new concept to you, trust me, it’s amazing. This strawberry french toast burger is no exception.
French Toast Burger Bun
First off the bun is french toasted. This works pretty much the same as any french toast, but you just need to coat the one side with the egg & milk mixture and put it on the greased pan for a couple minutes. Don’t use too much of the mixture to get it soggy. It’s optional but adding some cinnamon is a nice touch.
Then I coated the bottom bun with cream cheese. This give some nice extra flavor and goes great with the strawberry. Plus it’s not too sweet so it keeps the flavors nicely in balance.
Strawberry Sauce
Finally, I made a strawberry sauce to top this burger off. It’s pretty simple to make just cut up some strawberries into quarters and then put them in a pan with sugar, water, and a little vanilla extract. Don’t cook too long or they’ll get too mushy. You want just them to be just a little bit firm for a nice texture.
Now just put that burger on top of the cream cheese and spoon on some strawberries and a bit of the sauce. Enjoy your delicious strawberry french toast burger!
