A delicious combination of French toast and cheesecake, stuffed with creamy cheese and fresh strawberries, perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
For the Stuffed French Toast
- 8 slices slices of thick bread (challah or brioche)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the sliced strawberries carefully.
- Take a slice of bread and spread a generous scoop of the cream cheese mixture on another slice, then press them together to form a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Cooking
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter.
- Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Cook in the skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serving
- Stack your stuffed French toast on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and garnish with fresh strawberries.
Notes
Prepare the filling the night before for easier morning prep. A dusting of powdered sugar on top adds a fancy touch. If the filling squeezes out while cooking, don't worry; it's part of the experience!
