Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened: Cream cheese creates a rich and creamy filling, reminiscent of classic cheesecake.
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar: Adds sweetness to the cheesecake mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor of the filling adding warmth and depth.
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries bring a burst of juicy sweetness and a vibrant pop of color.
For the French Toast:
  • 8 slices of bread such as brioche or challah: These breads are soft, rich, and absorb the egg mixture well, making them ideal for French toast.
  • 4 large eggs: Eggs are essential for the French toast batter giving it structure and richness.
  • 1/2 cup milk: Adds creaminess to the egg mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Infuses the French toast with a lovely vanilla flavor.
  • Butter or oil for frying: Ensures the French toast gets golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Method
 

Prepare the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
  1. Creamy and Smooth: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
Make the French Toast:
  1. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry cheesecake filling onto one slice of bread, then top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread and filling.
  3. Dip in Egg Mixture: Dip each stuffed French toast sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Cook the French Toast:
  1. Heat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter or oil.
  2. Cook Until Golden: Place the stuffed French toast sandwiches in the skillet or griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Notes

Use brioche or challah for best results, filling can be made ahead, try different fruits or toppings for variation.
