Cheesecake Strawberry French Toast-
There’s not really much that can go wrong when preparing this easy stuffed French toast, here are some TIPS to ensure the best stuffed french toast.
- Don’t keep the bread dipped in the milk mixture too long, it will get too soggy. Quickly dredge bread and remove.
- The skillet cannot be TOO hot, it will burn the bread and not allow the cheesecake filling to heat. The skillet needs to be med/hot in the heat.
- If you aren’t able to fit all three toasts into one skillet, clean skillet after the first batch of toast and before adding the second batch.
- Be sure to use thick bread slices or cut Italian bread loaf into thick slices.
