Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

Brunch is not really my thing. I wake up hungry. I work out in the morning. So by 9 a.m. I've usually eaten breakfast twice. So waiting until 10ish to eat sounds terrible to me. But that is just me. However, waking up at 6 a.m. to make this and be eating by 7 a.m. on a Sunday is totally my jam. I know, I'm a sick person. But it is what it is. Just imagine, if you ever stay at my house, I will make you breakfast...and lunch...and dinner because that is what I do.

Anyway, this looks fancy, sounds fancy, tastes fancy but guess what, it isn't. It is so simple and easy to make.
