Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the French Toast
Take each slice of bread and make a pocket by cutting a slit along one side, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Spread the cheesecake filling inside the pocket of each bread slice. Add a few slices of strawberries and bananas into each pocket.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Dip each stuffed slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Place the bread onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Plate the French toast and dust with powdered sugar.
Drizzle with maple syrup and top with extra strawberries and bananas for garnish.
