# Instructions:

01 - Switch on your oven to 350°F. Grease your muffin tin with some melted butter. Use a 4-inch cutter for bread bottoms and a 3-inch one for tops.
02 - Blend cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla till it's creamy. Gently mix in the chopped strawberries.
03 - Combine eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, and milk by whisking them together.
04 - Soak the larger bread rounds in the egg mixture and push them into muffin cups. Spoon in the filling.
05 - Soak the smaller bread rounds in the same egg mixture. Lay them carefully over the filling and press the edges down to seal.
06 - Dust with a mix of cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 25 minutes till the tops turn golden. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes to cool.
07 - Stir milk and powdered sugar together till smooth. Drizzle it on top of the muffins after they’ve cooled.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap the strawberries for other fruits or berries.
02 - They’re tastiest when eaten fresh and warm.
