Start with 8 strawberries and quarter them for a fresh, juicy bite.

For the filling, add 1 cup of low-fat cream cheese to a bowl.

Sweeten the cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of natural sweetener or sugar of your choice.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture for flavor.

For the custard, crack in 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of natural sweetener to the eggs.

Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract for extra richness.

Pour in 1 cup of whole milk and whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.

Dip each slice of thick cut bri into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Cook the coated bread in a buttered non-stick pan over medium heat until golden brown on each side.

Once the toast has cooled slightly, pipe a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto one slice.

Top the cream cheese filling with the quartered strawberries.

Finish with a dusting of icing sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup, then serve warm.
