Ingredients
  

For the Cherry Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup cherry pie filling (plus extra for topping)

For the French Toast:

8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

For Serving:

Maple syrup

Whipped cream

Instructions
 

Make the Cherry Cheesecake Filling:

    - In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

      - Gently fold in the cherry pie filling, being careful to keep some whole cherries for texture. Set aside.

        Prepare the French Toast Mixture:

          - In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.

            Assemble the French Toast:

              - Take a slice of bread and spread a generous layer of the cherry cheesecake filling on one side.

                - Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining slices.

                  Cook the French Toast:

                    - Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter.

                      - Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

                        - Place the stuffed sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

                          Serve:

                            - Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place on a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and additional cherry pie filling if desired.

                              - Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh cherries or mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
