This cream cheese stuffed French toast is like a dream come true. From the cinnamon-filled bread to the strawberry cream stuffing. Enough of my talking. Lastly, let me show you how to make stuffed french toast!
Stuffed French toast is a delicious breakfast dish made by filling slices of bread with various sweet or savory fillings before being dipped in an egg mixture and cooked. The bread is typically thick and fluffy, such as brioche or challah, which is sliced and then stuffed with a filling of your choice.
Sweet fillings for stuffed French toast can include cream cheese, Nutella, fresh fruits like berries or bananas, chocolate chips, or even a sweetened ricotta mixture. Savory options can include ham and cheese, spinach and feta, or bacon and cheddar.
Once the bread is filled, it is dipped in an egg mixture, which usually consists of eggs, milk or cream, and flavorings like vanilla extract or cinnamon. The soaked bread is then cooked on a griddle or in a pan until golden brown and cooked through.
Stuffed French toast can be served with a variety of toppings such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. It is a versatile and indulgent breakfast treat that is loved by many.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and strawberry jam until well combined. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and brown sugar until well blended. Set aside.
Take two slices of bread and spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice. Press the slices together to form a sandwich.
Dip the stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated evenly.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Place the stuffed sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cream cheese filling is melted and gooey.
Repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining bread slices and cream cheese mixture.
Once all the stuffed French toasts are cooked, transfer them to a baking sheet and place them in a preheated toaster oven at 200°F to keep them warm while you cook the rest.
Serve the stuffed French toast with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and your favorite toppings.
Enjoy your delicious stuffed French toast for a special breakfast, brunch, or even as a sweet treat for Mother's Day or other special occasions!
