Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1 tbsp lemon juice

For the French Toast:

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)

2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking)

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.

      - Gently fold in the diced strawberries and lemon juice until evenly incorporated. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.

        Make the Custard Mixture:

          - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.

            Stuff the Bread:

              - Take one slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the strawberry cheesecake filling on one side. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling to form 4 stuffed sandwiches.

                Cook the French Toast:

                  - In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

                    - Dip each stuffed sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated. Allow excess custard to drip off.

                      - Place the stuffed sandwiches in the skillet without overcrowding (you may need to work in batches). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

                        Serve:

                          - Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup and additional fresh strawberries if desired.
