    1 Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

    2 Place half the strawberries in a bowl. Using a fork, mash until almost smooth. Add cream cheese and vanilla, stirring to combine.

    3 Cut a wide pocket into each bread slice without cutting all the way through. Spread strawberry cream cheese mixture into each pocket, pressing sides to enclose filling.

    4 Place eggs, egg white, milk and cinnamon in a mixing bowl, whisking to combine. Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Working with one slice at a time, dip bread into egg mixture to evenly coat. Carefully add to pan and cook for 2 minutes each side or until crisp and golden. Transfer to prepared tray and keep warm in preheated oven. Repeat with remaining egg and slices.

    5 Slice French toast in half diagonally and divide among four serving plates. Scatter over remaining strawberries and serve drizzled with maple syrup.
