Ingredients
Strawberry Butter:
4oz (115g)unsalted buttersoftened and cut into chunks
Prepare Strawberry Butter: In the bowl of a small food processor, combine the softened butter, fresh strawberry chunks, and salt. Pulse and process until butter is comes together, scraping down the bowl with a spatula as needed, until the butter is smooth and evenly flecked with fresh strawberry pieces. Transfer to a small bowl, and set aside.
Prepare French toast: For each serving, spread a slice of Brioche with a thin layer of strawberry preserves and top with another slice of brioche bread. Set aside.
In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract and salt. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a tab of butter. Just before cooking, dip the sandwiched challah in the egg-buttermilk mixture on both sides. Allow any excess liquid to drip off and place into the pan in the sizzling butter. Avoid over-crowding the pan. Cook the french toast until golden brown on each side, flipping carefully with a wide heatproof spatula.
Top with a spoonful of strawberry butter and sliced strawberries. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup.
