Indulge in the perfect breakfast or brunch treat with this Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast! Soft, fluffy brioche or Texas toast is filled with a decadent cream cheese and strawberry filling, then dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture and cooked to golden perfection. Top with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup for the ultimate sweet indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Whipped cream
  • Maple syrup or powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

  • Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Set aside.
  • Prepare the French toast: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
  • Assemble the stuffed French toast: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly onto 4 slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread to create a sandwich.
  • 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, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Place the sandwiches on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.
  • Serve: Top the French toast with fresh strawberry slices, whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup or dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For an extra decadent touch, you can sprinkle powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate syrup on top.
  • You can use frozen strawberries if fresh strawberries are not available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
