Guest Recipe: Dior's Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

Mother’s Day is a beautiful way to show our mothers how much we appreciate them, and a perfect way to show them is through a special gift, and what gift is more special than good food?

This strawberry stuffed french toast is as delicious as it is luxurious, tempting you with the sweet cream cheese filling and juicy strawberries. Don’t forget to add the dusting of icing sugar to top it off too to bring the air of celebration for your mum this Mother’s Day.

Let your mum sit back as you prepare breakfast for once. While she waits, you can make your Mother’s Day brunch boozy with a refreshing mimosa by mixing equal parts orange juice and sparkling wine into your best champagne glasses.

If it’s a bit too early for a tipple, you can easily make a non-alcoholic option by switching to any alcohol-free sparkling wine of your choosing.
