Indulge in a decadent breakfast treat with this Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast recipe, where creamy, sweetened cream cheese is sandwiched between slices of bread, dipped in an egg mixture, and pan-fried to golden perfection. This easy-to-make dish combines the richness of cheesecake with the comforting warmth of classic French toast.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffing

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the French Toast

  • 8 slices of thick white bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Butter, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the Stuffed Bread: Spread a generous amount of the sweetened cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread. Top each with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Dip the Stuffed Bread: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter to coat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to soak both sides well.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot skillet. Cook each side for 3–4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping carefully to avoid filling spilling out.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from pan and serve immediately. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or add fresh berries for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use thick-sliced bread like brioche or Texas toast for best results.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier spreading.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the filling warms through.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg mixture.
  • Can be kept warm in a low oven while cooking batches.
