Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
Decadent cream cheese stuffed French toast with golden edges, a creamy center, and fresh strawberries on top — perfect for brunch or a special breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick brioche or challah bread
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
- Fresh strawberries for topping (optional)
- Maple syrup or honey for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
- Spread cream cheese filling on 4 slices of bread and top with remaining slices to form sandwiches.
- Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides.
- Cook each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and heated through.
- Top with strawberries and syrup if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy bread to prevent sogginess.
- Softened cream cheese spreads more easily and blends better.
- Don’t over-soak the bread — just a few seconds is enough.
- Make-ahead friendly: prep the filling and assemble sandwiches the night before.
