What You Need to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast

• Bread: Slices of thick, sturdy bread such as brioche or challah.
• Cream cheese: Cream cheese acts as the base for this French toast filling, providing a rich and creamy texture.
• Strawberries: Strawberry cheesecake french toast is a super-easy way to enjoy red summer berries.
• Eggs: Eggs add fat and moisture to the French toast.
• Milk: Generally, any type of milk will work, but whole milk is the best choice as it creates a richer custard. You can also use a combination of milk and half-and-half to have a richer and creamier custard.
• Granulated sugar: Gives a hint of sweetness.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
• Butter: Use butter to grill bread slices.
• Powdered sugar: I use powdered sugar to sweeten French toast filling because it mixes more easily with cream cheese.
