See how easy it is to make this Stuffed French Toast? You really can’t get much easier than this unless you are making regular French toast, but once you try this, you won’t want regular anymore!
We use strawberry cream cheese as our cheesecake filling for this recipe, we don’t actually make a no-bake filling but you can if you’d like. But Philadelphia brand carries lots of flavors.
WHAT OTHER FLAVORS CAN I STUFF THIS WITH:
- Blueberry
- Pineapple
- Honey Pecan
- Brown Sugar and Cinnamon
Those are just some of the other flavors that we have tried when it comes to the flavors that we can find in the cream cheese themselves, and they are all so delicious.
But this strawberry version is by far our favorite, but that brown sugar and cinnamon is awfully tasty as well!
WHAT KIND OF BREAD SHOULD I USE?
For this recipe, we used Brioche bread, its nice and thick and is a great bread that is easily able to be stuffed. If you cannot find Brioche there are other options.
You can use Texas toast, it is thicker, but it is not as sturdy as Brioche. There is also Challah bread that you can get presided or slice it as thick as you like.
I just don’t recommend using regular bread for this as it will not hold up. If you need, a French loaf will work in a pinch but your Stuffed French Toast will be smaller.
HOW DO I MAKE MY OWN FILLING?
If you want to make your own filling then you can mix together 8 oz of cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and about 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
If you want to give it different flavors you can use different flavored extracts as well such as strawberry, almond, orange, banana, etc.
You can flavor it to any extract flavors that you desire, taste, and see what is your favorite if you want to go that route!
HOW TO STORE:
Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast is best served when it is made but if you need to you can store this in the refrigerator.
Place your leftover, cooled Stuffed French Toast slices and put in an airtight container or ziptop bag and you can store for up to 2 days, reheat in a pan on low until heated through.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- We use Brioche bread for this recipe but you can use others if you can’t find that, see my tips above.
- Cook times may vary based on each griddle.
- You can make your own filling if you want more than just cream cheese, see the recipe I provided above.
