What is Stuffed French Toast?
Stuffed French Toast is actually a French toast sandwich. It’s made from French toast slices with a cream cheese and berry filling in the middle.
Famous breakfast-place Ihop used to carry this comfort food. Until they decide to add it to their menu again, you can make a copycat Stuffed French Toast in the comfort of your home! Plus you can easily customize it to fit your family’s taste buds. You will be so glad you finally took the time to jazz up regular French toast. It’s absolutely worth it!
What Type of Bread is Best for French Toast
You can make French Toasts with pretty much any bread on hand. This includes baguette, challah, brioche, even sourdough or gluten-free bread! Use bread that you have left over, or that you let dry on purpose overnight. This way the slices won’t absorb too much egg and get soggy, but instead will turn out perfectly. Some other ideas include — thick slices from our White Country Bread, Easter Bread, or for a healthier option, our Honey Wheat Bread.

How to Make Stuffed French Toast
Making Stuffed French Toast is simpler than it looks. It requires little time and even less ingredients. Follow the steps below to make your Stuffed French Toast.
- Gather the bread slices you will use.
- Whisk up the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl.
- Whip up the cream cheese filling.
- Scoop up the filling mixture and apply it to one bread slice.
- Sandwich it with another slice of bread and dunk it in the egg mixture.
- Melt butter in the pan and fry for a few minutes per side until golden.
Reheating Tip: Reheat on either on a stovetop, microwave, or air fryer. If you are reheating a large batch, the oven will work great.






Serving Stuffed French Toast
The secret in serving Stuffed French Toast is in the topping. Here are a few of my favorite topping ideas that you can implement when serving your Stuffed French Toast.
Serve French Toast in a variety of platter. That’s right, top your toasts with either strawberries, lemon zest or powdered sugar. You can even drizzle them with maple syrup or raspberry jam. For those with a salt-tooth (it’s real), why not arrange some bacon slices on top?!
Other Variations to Try
Your French Toasts don’t have to be boring. Spice up your varieties with even more options. Don’t just take my word for it, try these combinations for yourself.
- Nutella-Stuffed: Replace your cream cheese mixture with Nutella, for all those chocolate lovers!
- Berry Switch: For the ultimate fresh berry flavor, fill your toast with raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.
- Fruit Slices: Thinly slice up some bananas, pears or apples, and serve alongside the toast with a touch of whipped cream on top.
- Peanut Butter & Jelly: Do your kids love PB&J? Load up your toasts with a good layer of your favorite nut butter and jelly for a delicious combination.
- Cinnamon French Toast: Add a kick to your toast by adding some cinnamon to the cream cheese or even to the egg mixture.
- Chocolate Raspberry French Toast: For a truly romantic combination — try spicing up your cream cheese filling with a gram of cacao powder and a few raspberry pieces. Now, who’s hungry?

Is there any reason why you couldn't use fresh strawberries in place of blueberries?
Hey Charlie, we definitely can use strawberries. If you check "Other Variations to Try" section, we have some cool recomandations there. Hope this helps.
The picture show cinnamon but the recipe doesn’t denote it. Very good though!
Hi Tamra, thanks for catching that. Just fixed the recipe. Have a great day!
Soooooo delicious!!!!! The BEST French toast I’ve ever had for sure!!!!!
I am so delighted to hear that you love this recipe! Thank you for your feedback. Enjoy!
These are so good! I didn't add sugar or vanilla to the cream cheese, blueberries and the French toast dip seemed sweet enough... Two tips.. I put the bread in the toaster oven and super light toasted- easier to spread filling and kept inside from getting soggy.. and 2: press the edges of the bread together (lightly, don't squish) so when you dip in the egg mix, it won't get inside the filling.. this was definitely a special breakfast 😃
Hi Kristina - These are great tips! So glad that you enjoyed the french toast and had a special breakfast. Thank you for sharing.
It was delicious BUT.. I’d recommend cooking one side of the French toast first then put on the filling once you flip the toast then the inside of the bread won’t be soggy. I put strawberry jam in the cream cheese and whipped it with my electric mixer. This is what I’ve always done. Delicious
