This stuffed French toast recipe reminds me of something you would get from a luxurious bed and breakfast or swanky hotel with a fabulous brunch.
Not that I’ve been to either in the last decade, but still. It reminds me of things that could be. Someday. In the far, far future.
In the meantime, I’ll save a few bucks and make it myself. My kids love stuffed French toast.
Even my oldest son who hates regular, every day French toast (the kind I throw together in 3 minutes in our rush to get to school), devours this stuff (no pun intended). It really is delicious.
And if you want to know something slightly embarrassing, in a past life, I was afraid to make stuffed French toast because the whole dipping two slices of bread while crammed full of cream and fruit kind of freaked me out a little.
Thankfully I got over my fears and once I put my big girl apron on, I realized how silly I had been.
My family is forever grateful I wised up and powered through my anxieties. We make variations of this all the time: subbing in different fruits, taking out the fruit altogether and mixing in mini chocolate chips, using jam in place of fruit or chocolate. You name it, we’ve tried it.
Well, ok, don’t get crazy with the naming thing. We haven’t tried Brussels sprouts stuffed French toast and probably never will thankyouverymuch.
Whether for Valentine’s Day or just a fun weekend breakfast, this stuffed French toast is calling out your name.
It wants you.
And if you are honest with yourself, you’ll admit that you totally want it, too. I do! (It will be a veritable miracle of anyone in my family a) reads this and b) takes the hint.)

I use our go-to homemade whole wheat bread but you could use any bread you like as long as it is fairly hearty (not super thin and soft). My friend, Lien, who gave me the recipe which I adapted slightly, adds a couple tablespoons chopped almonds to the cream cheese filling which would be delicious (but not welcomed by my children). Also, any kind of milk can be used (dairy, coconut, almond). This stuffed French toast is really adaptable - change out the fruits, use chocolate chips in place of the fruit, jam instead of fruit or chocolate - the options are endless really. If you don't use all 16 ounces of strawberries for the filling, you can top the French toast with the extras or just eat them while cooking up the French toast.
