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.

French Toast stuffed with sweet cream cheese and sliced in half.

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

  1. 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.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, sugar and cinnamon until it’s well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

How to serve stuffed french toast

Top your stuffed french toast with your favorite toppings. Here are some of our favorites:

  • Whipped cream
  • Warm maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Banana slices
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans

      I haven’t baked this specific recipe, but this Blueberry French Toast Casserole is baked, and you could skip the blueberries or add another kind of fruit if you wish.

      The cream cheese would get watery so I don’t recommend freezing.

    I went to the print recipe form & the measurements are off. They are some sort of decimal form & for example .33 eggs, .177 vanilla. Otherwise great!

      Hi Dayne, there is an option to change the number of servings, you must have accidentally clicked that. It should be 6 servings and the numbers will be correct.

      Unfortunately no, not for this use. You could leave off the cinnamon sugar altogether though.

    I am going to try this but the list says 1/3 powdered and teaspoon granulated. Instructions are reversed. Also, 1 tablespoon Vanilla seems like a lot for a single 8oz creem cheese. Is this also incorrect? Hoping the errors are not too far off, heh. Going to try it anyway. Thanks

      Those are not errors, the list of ingredients is correct. The powdered sugar sweetens the cream cheese filling while the granulated sugar combines with the cinnamon to form a crust as the french toast cooks.

        Hi, so I made this and it came out awesome. I will, however, point out there is an actual error, or perhaps I am missing something. The instructions state, “Beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, vanilla until a you have a spreadable consistency.” Now, I see “White sugar” listed one time and “1/3 cup powdered sugar”, but the instructions state to add “1/3 cup white sugar”. Then states to add “granulated sugar” later.
        Again, awesome recipe, tastes great, just stating it was confusing and could use clarification.
        Thank you for the great recipe!

    Hey! The first step in the recipe says to mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, white sugar and vanilla. However, I cannot find the amount of powdered sugar needed in the listed ingredients. If you could help me out with the amount that would be great!!

    Jazzed it up a little. I used a cinnamon struessel bread instead of adding cinnamon to the egg, and I added some lemon zest to the filling and garnish. Very nice, but this is a solid recipe with good measurements. 5 stars!
