Cut the tops off the strawberries and slice them thinly.

Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with white sugar to create a syrup.

Let the strawberries sit for at least 10 minutes to render juice.

In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream, then mix until smooth.

In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Prepare the assembly station with the egg wash, cream cheese filling, and sliced strawberries.

Take a slice of bread, spread the cream cheese mixture on one side, add sliced strawberries, and top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat, then dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are coated.

Cook the stuffed sandwiches in the skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
