Ingredients: 8 ounces cream cheese, softened; 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves; 1 tablespoon orange zest; 4 eggs; 1/2 cup milk; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier); 8 slices Texas Toast style bread, challah, or other thick-sliced bread; Butter; 1 recipe Strawberry Cream Cheese Sauce, recipe follows; 1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed; 1 pint sour cream; 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier); 2 tablespoons milk; 1 teaspoon honey; 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, strawberry preserves, and orange zest until smooth. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and orange liqueur. Pour into a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate. Set aside.
With a pairing knife, slice a pocket into the side of the bread. Do not cut all of the way through the bread. Fill bread slices with a heaping spoonful of cream cheese mixture.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip the filled bread in the egg mixture and place in the skillet to brown on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices.
Serve hot with additional Strawberry Cream Cheese on the side.
