Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut brioche or challah bread

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Butter, for cooking

Maple syrup, for serving

Additional strawberries, for garnish

Whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they're evenly distributed. Set aside.

    Make the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

      Assemble the French Toast: Take a slice of bread, and spread a generous amount of the strawberry cheesecake filling on one side. Top it with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, add a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Allow it to melt and bubble.

          Dip and Cook: Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated. Allow any excess to drip off, then place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more butter in between batches.

            Serve: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Drizzle with warm maple syrup, and add additional fresh strawberries if desired. Top with whipped cream for an extra indulgence.

              Enjoy! Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
