Upgrade your weekend brunch routine with this simple and decadent Raspberry Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast, ready in only 15 minutes!
We’re huge fans of brunch around here. I actually almost never eat breakfast. But breakfast foods are my favorite type of food. Both savory and sweet options – better yet, when both show up together!
I love trying to upgrade old favorites, like adding random toppings to pancakes or fillings to french toast. The possibilities are really endless!
Since we’re kinda in the midst of summer, recipe testing with berries seemed like a no-brainer.
The combination of tart raspberry and rich cream cheese is indulgent and quite heavenly just like in these raspberry cream cheese hand pies. But honestly, I don’t have the patience to turn on the oven, or make pie dough all the time.
Enter: this Raspberry Cheesecake French Toast. This magically comes together in about fifteen minutes, which coincidentally is about the same time it takes my husband to make coffee.
