Stuffed French Toast Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

A decadent breakfast or brunch dish where thick slices of bread are filled with a sweet cream cheese mixture, dipped in egg batter, and pan-fried until golden brown.

Ingredients

• 8 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries or sliced strawberries
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, for frying
• Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in berries.
2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto 4 slices of bread, leaving a small border. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter.
5. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides, letting excess drip off.
6. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add remaining butter as needed.
7. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Tips

• Use day-old bread for best texture; it absorbs the custard without becoming soggy.
• For a savory twist, omit the sugar and berries and fill with ham and cheese.
• Keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining batches.
