Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced

French Toast

  • 8 slices of bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to crush the berries to maintain their texture.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese and strawberry mixture evenly over 4 slices of bread. Top each with the remaining 4 slices to form sandwiches.
  4. Mix Egg Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Dip Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly without soaking the bread to prevent it from falling apart.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until it foams and begins to brown slightly, creating a non-stick surface for cooking.
  7. Cook French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve Warm: Serve immediately with additional fresh strawberries and maple syrup or your favorite toppings as desired for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast to prevent sogginess.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your stove to avoid burning.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking for convenience.
