Equipment

  • Large non-stick skillet (linked below)
  • Mixing bowl (linked below)
  • Hand held mixer (linked below)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf Italian bread or homemade bread *see recipes linked below
  • 2-3 large eggs
  • butter for frying
  • 2 cups fresh fruit, strawberry slices, blueberries, raspberries, banana slices etc.

Cheesecake filling:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (optional):

  • confectioner's sugar
  • maple syrup or pancake syrup

Instructions
 

  • Slice the bread and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, vanilla and sugar. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined and creamy, then spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto two bread slices.
  • Top one slice of bread with fresh fruit, then add the second slice as a lid. Beat the eggs in a dish with a large flat surface, then dip the fruit/cream cheese sandwich into egg wash, ensuring both sides are well covered. Repeat this process for the next 4-5 stuffed French toasts.
  • Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet, then add the French toast sandwiches and fry on med-low heat for a few minutes per side; or until the egg has cooked and the bread is a nice golden color.
  • Serve with more fresh fruit, syrup and confectioner's sugar (optional).
