In a shallow bowl, combine the eggs and milk; mix well and set aside. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with cooking spray and place in oven. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray or melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Dip strawberry sandwiches into the egg mixture, turning to soak each side.

Just before serving, cut each sandwich diagonally; top with remaining strawberries and sprinkle with 2 Tbsps powdered sugar. Serve with warm maple or strawberry syrup.
