Divide the crust as the base of the cheesecake in both pans. Then add the cheesecake mixture on top of both crusts. Place in a water bath so the water reaches the middle of the pan and bake for 2 hours.
  • For the strawberry syrup: Add the strawberries and granulated sugar to a heatproof mixing bowl and cover. Add the mixing bowl to a water bath and bake for 45 minutes.

  • Make a small incision with a paring knife in the bottom part of the brioche bread slices. Insert 2 ounces of the cheesecake inside each bread slice and cover the cheesecake up with a piece of the bread. Reserve the graham crumbs for plating.
  • Preheat a griddle to medium heat. Dip each slice into the egg mixture and put onto the griddle. Cook until toasted and golden brown on both sides.
  • Cut the French toast in half and then place them on a plate with the fresh strawberries, strawberry syrup, graham crumbs and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 loaf day-old Italian bread
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest
¼ teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Slice the bread into 16 slices using a sharp knife. Save the ends to use in another dish, or discard. Arrange the bread slices in the prepared baking pan. Tuck strawberry slices between and around the bread.

Tips for Making the Best Classic French Toast with Strawberry Syrup:

  • Use thick slices of bread for a more substantial French toast. Brioche, challah, or French bread are all good choices.
  • For a richer flavor, use a mixture of milk and cream in the egg batter. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat to prevent it from burning. If the heat is too high, the outside of the French toast will cook too quickly while the inside remains uncooked.
  • If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the French toast in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Classic French Toast with Strawberry Syrup is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast recipe that the whole family will enjoy. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both satisfying and delicious. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
