Description
A delightful breakfast dish featuring thick slices of bread stuffed with creamy cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of thick bread (like Texas Toast or Brioche)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Assemble the stuffed toast: Spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Top with strawberry slices and place another slice on top.
- Make the egg wash: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until frothy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg wash and cook in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Garnish with extra strawberry slices.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Use thick slices of bread to support the filling without falling apart.
