Weekend breakfast has to be special, especially for a person like me who is a no-breakfast-person all week through. While all the attention on special breakfast is given to pancakes (by most), for me something special for breakfast means French Toast. And if you've been following me you must have followed my French Toast recipes too, and today I'm adding another one to the list, it's Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast.

It's a breakfast dessert, so double the treat! and that's what makes it even more special. Imagine for a second, your favorite strawberry cheesecake stuffed in golden crisp bread, drizzled with maple syrup and served with fresh fruit. It did give you that fancy restaurant breakfast feel, right? It's that special.
