@gracefullywell8: French toast just turned into dessert-for-breakfast. 🍓🍞✨ Golden cinnamon French toast stuffed with a creamy strawberry cheesecake filling, topped with fresh berries, strawberry sauce, powdered sugar, and a little crunch. It’s rich, over-the-top, brunch-worthy, and definitely the kind of plate that gets saved before it gets eaten. Save this one for your next weekend brunch. Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients For the cheesecake filling * 8 oz cream cheese, softened * ¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream * 3 tbsp powdered sugar * 1 tsp vanilla extract * ¾ cup diced strawberries For the French toast * 8 thick slices brioche or challah * 3 large eggs * ¾ cup milk * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1 tbsp brown sugar * Pinch of salt * 2 tbsp butter, for cooking For the strawberry sauce * 1½ cups sliced strawberries * 2 tbsp sugar or maple syrup * 1 tbsp lemon juice * 2 tbsp water For finishing * Fresh strawberries * Whipped cream * Powdered sugar * Crushed graham crackers or granola * Maple syrup, optional Instructions 1. Make the filling. Beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the diced strawberries. 2. Assemble the stuffed toast. Spread a generous layer of strawberry cheesecake filling over four slices of brioche. Top each with another slice of bread and press gently around the edges. 3. Make the custard. Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt in a shallow bowl. 4. Dip the sandwiches. Dip each stuffed French toast sandwich into the custard, coating both sides without letting the bread soak too long. 5. Cook. Melt butter in a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook the French toast for about 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply golden and the filling is warm. 6. Make the strawberry sauce. Add the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and the sauce becomes glossy. Lightly mash some of the berries while leaving a few pieces whole. 7. Plate it up. Slice the stuffed French toast diagonally and stack it on a plate. Spoon warm strawberry sauce over the top. Finish with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, and crushed graham crackers. Chef’s Tips Use day-old brioche or challah if possible. Slightly drier bread holds the filling and custard better. Keep the heat around medium-low so the outside gets golden without burning before the center warms through. Chill the cheesecake filling for 10–15 minutes before assembling if you want it extra thick and easy to work with.
