Buttery, fluffy brioche bread meets its match with the tang of the whipped cream cheese filling in this stuffed French toast recipe. While we love the classic French toast, when we want something with a bit more wow-factor for a holiday brunch, Mother or Father’s Day breakfast in bed, or a special birthday breakfast, this recipe is the decadence we all deserve.
Play up the cream cheese filling by topping the warm stuffed French toast with berries, a dusting of confectioners’ sugar, and a drizzle of warm maple syrup. The cream cheese adds richness with a tang that keeps this from being overly sweet. You can play with the flavors in this by adding spices to the custard (cardamom is a personal favorite) or stir-ins to the cream cheese before loading it into the bread slices. The addition of miniature chocolate chips to the filling makes for a creamy, melty chocolate interior perfect for a Valentine’s day breakfast in bed (or an any-day breakfast in bed for the chocolate lover in your life).
