Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Bread and Eggs:
- 4 slices thick bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Generously spread softened cream cheese onto two bread slices, then layer strawberry jam on the remaining two slices, creating delectable flavor-packed sandwiches.
- Vigorously whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow mixing bowl until thoroughly combined and silky smooth.
- Carefully immerse each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring complete and even coating on both exterior surfaces.
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature, melt butter until it sizzles, then gently place sandwiches into the pan.
- Cook each sandwich approximately 2-3 minutes per side, watching for a rich golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior.
- Transfer the french toast to serving plates, garnishing with freshly sliced strawberries and a delicate dusting of powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately while warm, allowing the cream cheese and jam to remain soft and luscious inside the crispy bread layers.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier spreading and smoother texture.
- Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast to prevent soggy sandwiches and maintain structural integrity.
- Experiment with different jam flavors like raspberry or mixed berry for unique taste variations.
- For a lighter version, swap whole milk with almond or skim milk and use reduced-fat cream cheese to cut calories without sacrificing flavor.
