Stuffed French Toast Recipe
Today I am sharing my Stuffed French Toast recipe. Can you say delicious?!
Every Christmas my family and I have Christmas brunch instead of the typical Christmas dinner. This is a tradition I started because Thanksgiving and Christmas are so close together. I was not interested in serving or eating the same foods I had just made for Thanksgiving. So this is how Christmas brunch began at our house.
Our main dish is this Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast. It is seriously to die for! My whole family loves it! Cover it with fresh or frozen strawberries. Use the juice from the frozen strawberries in place of syrup. If you prefer fresh strawberries, you can use strawberry syrup. Top with whipped cream and you are set. Enjoy!!
How To Make Stuffed French Toast
- Start by making the cream cheese filling. Beat together softened (room temperature) cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until it’s a spreadable consistency. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer will help get the mixture nice and smooth, but you could also just mix with a big spoon. To make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature, let it sit in the bowl unwrapped for 30 minutes before mixing.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, sugar, and cinnamon until it’s well combined.
- Spread a thick layer of the sweetened cream cheese on one side of a slice of Texas Toast. Top with another slice of toast to form a sandwich.
- Dip both sides of the sandwich in the egg mixture until it begins to soak into the bread and coat it completely. Place the sandwich on a buttered grilled or skillet and grill until golden brown, flipping to cook evenly.

Ill let you k ow how it turns out
Want to try.
I made these this morning using Cinnamon Brioche bread and in place of the milk I used White Chocolate Raspberry coffee creamer. I also added raspberry pie filling to my cream cheese mixture. My teen has EoE so I simply subbed dairy-free cream cheese and Chobani Extra Creamy Oatmilk in his! Thank you for a great recipe!
You are so welcome Nichol! Awesome feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Can we do over night prep for this recipe?
I think you could probably do the first two steps, but I would worry it might get soggy.
I make these but instead of milk mixed in the egg mixture I use hazelnut – or any flavor really – coffee creamer. They are to die for!! Thank you.
You are so welcome Jennifer! Awesome feedback, thank you for stopping by to share.
The store I went to didn’t have Texas toast so I used whole grain white bread and it was still amazing.
That’s awesome Kyle! love your feedback, thanks for stopping by.
Delicious and so so easy!!! Will become a new favorite in our household! (Made it for my father in law on Father’s Day and the whole family loved it!)
My niece has made these and everyone loved them Thank you for a great recipe
Can you make ahead and freeze for future use
You can freeze french toast by itself, but the texture of the cream cheese filling would be comprised so no, I wouldn’t recommend freezing.
Love making this for my daughter! Instead of Texas toast, we use regular bread and it’s fine!
Nice! Thanks for stopping by Jessica.
