Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil, for frying
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
- Maple syrup
- Additional diced fresh strawberries
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries until evenly distributed. Set aside.
- Make the French Toast: In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry cheesecake filling onto one slice of bread, then top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread and filling. Dip each stuffed French toast sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter or oil. Place the stuffed French toast sandwiches in the skillet or griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Serve the strawberry cheesecake stuffed French toast warm, topped with maple syrup, additional diced fresh strawberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
