This indulgent Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast takes the classic breakfast favorite to the next level! Creamy cheesecake filling and fresh strawberry sauce are sandwiched between golden slices of custard-dipped bread for a melt-in-your-mouth treat that tastes just like dessert.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Topping

  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the French Toast

  • 8 slices brioche or Texas toast

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk (or half-and-half for richness)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Optional Garnishes

  • Whipped cream

  • Fresh strawberries

  • Powdered sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Strawberry Topping

  • In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

  • Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and thicken slightly.

  • Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

  • Spread the mixture on 4 slices of bread and top each with another slice to make sandwiches.

3. Make the French Toast Batter

  • In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together.

4. Cook the French Toast

  • Heat butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  • Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.

  • Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.

5. Assemble and Serve

  • Slice each sandwich diagonally.

  • Spoon the warm strawberry topping over the French toast.

  • Dust with powdered sugar and finish with whipped cream and extra berries.

💡 Tips

  • Use day-old brioche or thick bread slices to prevent sogginess.

  • Add a drizzle of maple syrup or strawberry syrup for extra sweetness.

  • Make the strawberry topping ahead — it keeps up to 3 days in the fridge.
