Thick cut ciabatta bread french toast stuffed with sweetened cream cheese served with blood oranges and fresh raspberries. This honey vanilla whipped cream cheese stuffed french toast with fresh fruit is perfect for weekend brunch.
Happy Sunday!
I hope you’re in the mood for breakfast! Because I’m about to add a touch of indulgence to your morning.
French toast is one of my favorite brunch dishes. I love that there are so many different ways you can transform days-old crusty slices of bread into a gourmet dish, perfect for serving your family and friends.
For this french toast, I wanted something more indulgent. What could be better than french toast stuffed with honey vanilla cream cheese, drizzled with maple syrup, and served with fresh fruit?
Umm, heck yes. I will wake up early on a Sunday morning just to get a bite of one of these honey vanilla whipped cream cheese stuffed french toast. Just pass me the maple syrup and a fork please.
To make french toast, you want to use bread that’s crusty or thick cut. Regular sandwich bread will dissolve and fall apart once you dip them into the egg mixture. That’s why I love when I have leftover french bread or ciabatta bread. They’re perfect for french toast.
In a small mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Next, add heavy cream, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk together the ingredients until well incorporated and smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture onto a slice of bread. Add as much or as little of the mixture as desired. Top with a second slice of bread to create a sandwich.
Continue with the rest of the sliced bread.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Dip the cream cheese stuffed sandwiches into the egg mixture until coated.
Melt about a tablespoon of butter,more if needed, in a large sized skillet until the bottom is coated. When the skillet is hot, cook the french toast about 3-4 at a time over medium heat until both sides are golden and crispy.
Serve the whipped honey vanilla cream cheese stuffed french toast with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar if desired. I can’t believe I forgot!
Enjoy!
