Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast Recipes

CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Set aside.
• Place 1 tablespoon of ricotta in the center of 4 of the pieces of bread and spread around slightly. Top with about 6 slices of strawberries and a teaspoon of chocolate chips. Cover each with another piece of bread to make a "sandwich".
• Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and preheat. Carefully dip each of the "sandwiches" into the egg mixture until completely moistened. Then place on the skillet and cook over a medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the outside is golden brown and the center is warm and chocolate is melted.
• Transfer to serving places. Top with remaining strawberries and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 100 degrees F ( 40 degrees C).
• Heat mashed strawberries and 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Mix cornstarch and water together in a bowl, then stir into the strawberries.
• Cook and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer while preparing remaining ingredients, stirring occasionally.
• Whisk together the milk and eggs in a bowl; set aside.
• Mash cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup white sugar in a bowl until smooth.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture over a triangle-shaped piece of bread, and top with another piece. Repeat with remaining bread and cream cheese mixture to make 8 triangle-shaped sandwiches.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, 2 or 3 at a time, and place in the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer pan-fried sandwiches to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm while cooking remaining sandwiches.
• To serve, top French toast with warm strawberry glaze and sliced fresh strawberries and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
