"Created by AI, this recipe combines technology and taste for a modern twist on home cooking."

Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bread knife (optional for trimming bread)

Ingredients Overview

  • Bread: Thick slices of brioche or challah are perfect for soaking up the custard while staying soft inside and crisp outside.
  • Cream Cheese: The base of the cheesecake filling; softened for easy mixing.
  • Strawberries: Fresh or macerated for a sweet, fruity component.
  • Eggs and Milk: Create the rich custard that soaks into the bread.
  • Vanilla and Cinnamon: Add flavor and warmth to the custard.
  • Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling and provides a decorative topping.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in ½ cup of diced fresh strawberries.

2. Slice and Stuff the Bread

  1. Cut thick slices (about 1½ inches) of brioche or challah.
  2. Create a pocket in the center of each slice using a knife, being careful not to cut through the edges.
  3. Fill each pocket with 1–2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture.

3. Make the Custard

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 eggs, ½ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.

4. Cook the French Toast

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1–2 tablespoons of butter.
  2. Dip each stuffed slice of bread into the custard, coating both sides evenly.
  3. Place the slices on the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Garnish and Serve

  1. Dust the French toast with powdered sugar.
  2. Top with additional fresh strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup or whipped cream, if desired.

Recipe Tips

  • Use day-old bread for better absorption of the custard.
  • Don’t overfill the bread, as the filling may leak out while cooking.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure the bread cooks through without burning the outside.

What to Serve With This Recipe

  • Pair with crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
  • Serve alongside a fresh fruit salad for a lighter option.
  • Enjoy with a steaming cup of coffee or a frothy cappuccino.
