Strawberries and Cream Cobbler

Strawberries and Cream Cobbler

I love strawberries.  I love cream cheese.  So, when I stumbled across this super easy recipe, I figured I needed to try it.  It is really easy to make and doesn't have many ingredients.

I was very pleased with how it turned out and definitely plan on making it again in the future experimenting with different fruit (peaches, blueberries, etc.).

Recipe

• 1 stick (1/2 c) butter
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 c milk
• 1 c all-purpose flour
• 1 c sugar
• 2 t baking powder
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 quarts whole strawberries, washed and capped
• 4 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Melt butter and  pour into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour directly over the butter in the baking dish, but do not stir.

Add the strawberries (I cut my strawberries into quarters, but you can place them in whole if you like), arranging in a single layer as much as possible. Sprinkle cream cheese pieces over strawberries. Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and edges are bubbling. (Crust rises up and around the fruit, but fruit will still peek out of top.)
