Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the French Toast:

  • 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for frying

For Topping:

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Extra fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling:
    In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced strawberries and strawberry jam. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the French toast:
    In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Assemble the stuffed French toast:
    Spread a thick layer of the cheesecake filling on two slices of bread, then top each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.
  4. Dip the sandwiches:
    Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated.
  5. Cook the French toast:
    Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve:
    Slice the stuffed French toast in half, dust with powdered sugar, and top with extra fresh strawberries. Serve with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • For a more indulgent option, drizzle the French toast with whipped cream or chocolate syrup.
  • Substitute the strawberry filling with your favorite fruit preserves or jams like raspberry or blueberry.
  • You can make the cheesecake filling a day ahead and store it in the fridge for quick assembly in the morning.
