If you want to step up your French toast game, then you must try this strawberry cheesecake stuffed French toast.
This fruity, creamy breakfast is far more delicious than regular french toast. It’s basically strawberry cheesecake stuffed between two slices of French toast, after all.
You can serve this for breakfast, lunch or even as a dessert with dinner.
What ingredients do I need?
You will need thick bread slices (Texas toast is ideal), fresh strawberries, cream cheese, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, eggs, butter, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
What is the cream cheese filling made of?
Cream cheese and powdered sugar.
How do I stuff the bread?
This part is easy. You simply spread the filling on one slice of bread and place another slice on top. Other recipes ask you to cut a slit in the bread and shove the filling inside. I’ve found that to be a risky proposition. I usually end up destroying the bread. So the sandwich method is my go-to.
How do I make the batter for the French toast?
In a shallow container, mix eggs, milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon. I like to use a pie plate or 8×8 baking dish — it makes for easier dipping.
How do I cook the French toast?
Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, making sure it is well coated. Place the bread slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on each side.
You’ll want to keep the heat on the lower side, since it takes a couple minutes to heat up the cream cheese filling. You want to avoid burning your French toast before the filling is warm.
How should I serve this stuffed French toast?
Serve it hot, dusted with powdered sugar, fresh strawberries, and maple syrup.
