Make the Cheesecake Filling

Assemble the Stuffed French Toast

  2. Repeat with remaining slices to create multiple stuffed sandwiches.
Cook the French Toast
  1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve

Consider using slightly stale bread for best results. You can prepare cheesecake filling the night before and assemble the sandwiches in the morning.
