Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler

Just dropping in to share a quick recipe that a friend shared on facebook tonight.  I changed it up a little and added some love to it.  Feel free to make it your own... it tastes much better that way :-)

Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler

1 Stick of butter (1/2 cup)

1 egg slightly beaten

1 cup of milk

1 cup of all purpose flour

1 cup of sugar

2 teaspoons of baking powder

½ teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 quarts of strawberries (capped and washed)

4 ounces of cream cheese (cut in small pieces)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 quarts whole strawberries, capped and washed
4 ounces cream cheese, cut in small pieces 1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 quarts whole strawberries, capped and washed
4 ounces cream cheese, cut in 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, vanilla, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour directly over the butter in the baking dish, but do not stir.

Add the strawberries, 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.)

Quick Icing (optional)

Confectioner’s sugar, vanilla and a splash of milk (to desired consistency)

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 quarts whole strawberries, capped and washed
4 ounces cream cheese, cut in small pieces
