A beautiful buttery, sweet, creamy and oh so delicious French Toast is my dream breakfast. This Mascarpone Cheese Stuffed French Toast, is lightly toasted in butter with flavors of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. The Brioche bread is the star of the show of course. But, you can also use Challah, or French Baguette.
Ajay is the biggest fan of french toasts. He loves a good french toast for his breakfast on the weekend. His favorite one is this stuffed french toast. There is nothing that can win him over this sweet treat, and now my mom loves it too.
I most often use either Challah or Brioche to make French Toasts at home. The older the better. I learnt making french toasts after I moved here to the US. I studied a lot of recipes, and now I am confident on preparing them without looking for a recipe.
I have been making this recipe for a while now, and trust me it is absolutely delicious. And you have to give it a TRY!!!
What is a Stuffed French Toast?
A french toast usually is a toast covered in sweet or savory egg mixture. While, a stuffed french toast is stuffed with either cream cheese or mascarpone cheese. This is then, dunked into the custard and toasted until cooked, thoroughly.
Best breads to use to make French Toasts
I always prefer using either Challah or Brioche. The Brioche I buy from Whole Foods Market is beyond amazing. It is perfectly buttery and soft. But, if these breads or not available where you live, feel free to use a good white bread to make french toasts.
Tips on Making French Toasts
The cooking times will differ from bread to bread. Remember, you don't have to soak your bread in the custard, just a dip on either side. Preheat the skillet you are using to make these, and toast the bread in butter on a medium-low flame. This gives the bread to get lightly crisp from the outside and perfectly moist on the inside.

Notes
- Use at least one day old bread.
- It is important to dry the french bread like brioche and challah out, because they are very soft and moist in texture.
- We just dip the prepared toasts in the custard. Don't let it sit and absorb the custard. It will get very soggy and take forever to cook.
- Toast the French Toasts in Butter, for the best flavor.
- Toast the French Toast on Medium Low Flame to make sure they cook all the way properly.
- Do not leave french toasts unattended while toasting. They cook really fast and might burn.
