Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffed French Toast

  • 2 slices Bread
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Cream Cheese, softened
  • 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
  • Salt, to taste

For the Egg Mixture

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

For Cooking

  • Butter, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread pockets: Cut a slit along one side of each bread slice to create a pocket suitable for stuffing.
  2. Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh strawberries, softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until well blended.
  3. Stuff the bread: Spoon the strawberry and cream cheese mixture evenly into the bread pockets carefully to avoid tearing the bread.
  4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
  5. Soak the stuffed bread: Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides soak up as much of the mixture as possible.
  6. Cook the French toast: Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Place the soaked bread slices into the pan and cook each side for about 4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the strawberry cheesecake stuffed French toast warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, powdered sugar, or extra fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for the best texture—it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
  • Be gentle when stuffing and soaking the bread to prevent it from breaking.
  • Adjust sugar in the filling based on the sweetness of your strawberries.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with a vegan alternative for a dairy-free version.
