Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Strawberries, diced
- 8 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries until evenly incorporated into the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
Take the slices of thick-cut bread and make a pocket in each slice by cutting a horizontal slit through one side of the bread, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Fill each bread pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry cheesecake mixture, spreading it evenly inside. Set the stuffed bread slices aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly saturated. Let any excess drip off.
Place the coated slices onto the hot skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding the remaining butter as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delightful Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast!
