Description

Indulge in this delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast, a perfect blend of creamy cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries nestled between slices of thick, buttery toast. This easy-to-make breakfast treat offers a rich, sweet flavor that’s sure to impress any brunch guest or make your weekend mornings extra special.

Ingredients

For the French Toast:

  • 8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter, for cooking

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

For Serving:

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Whipped cream
  • Maple syrup or powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Set aside to keep ready for assembling.
  2. Prepare the French toast mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble the stuffed French toast: Spread the prepared cheesecake filling evenly onto 4 slices of the thick bread. Top each with one of the remaining slices to form a sandwich, pressing gently to secure.
  4. Cook the French toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Place the sandwiches on the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until they develop a golden-brown crust. Add more butter as needed for subsequent batches.
  5. Serve: Plate the French toast and top with fresh sliced strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast to prevent sogginess and hold the filling well.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and the filling smooth.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and milk with vegan alternatives.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of the bread and your stovetop heat.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger groups.
