What if we combine French toast and American cheesecake? You get a competition-worthy recipe! Cut it into bars and serve with syrup for the final touch! You'll love its texture and flavor. Now it's your turn. Let's get to work!

Ingredients

For the French toast layer:

• 400 ml milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• brioche (sliced or sandwich bread if you don't have brioche)

For the cheesecake:

• 450 gr cream cheese
• 280 gr sour cream
• 130 gr sugar
• 25 gr flour
• 1.5 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or natural vanilla seeds)
• 3 eggs

For browning:

• butter
• sugar

Materials

• 23x23 cm square mold
• Baking paper

Preparation

• First, prepare the cheesecake cream:
  Beat the cream cheese until creamy. Add the remaining ingredients except for the eggs (sour cream + sugar + flour + lemon juice + vanilla extract).
  Mix well, and finally incorporate the eggs (lightly beaten beforehand). Mix a little (not too much) just to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
  Set aside.
• For the French toasts:
  In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the brioche (milk + eggs + sugar + vanilla extract).
  
• Cut the brioche into slices (if not pre-sliced) and soak the slices in the previous mixture.
• In a square mold (greased and lined with baking paper), place the soaked brioche slices.
  
• Once the base is covered, pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the brioche.
• Next, make the final layer of French toasts. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 140°C (280°F).
  
• When there are 15 minutes left, remove the cheesecake and brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle a little sugar on top. Return to the oven to finish browning.
  If you think it’s not toasted enough for your taste, put it in grill mode for 2 more minutes (only top heat at 200°C). Be careful! It toasts very quickly!
• Remove and let cool on a rack. Once cooled, refrigerate overnight (yes, we know, it's a long wait but it's worth it!)
  The next day, unmold and cut into bars or squares.
  
• Serve with maple syrup, honey, or caramel on top. And enjoy!

Observations

* You can add spices or flavors to the milk in which you soak the brioche slices. For example: cinnamon, orange or lemon zest, cocoa powder...

* You can serve with berry sauce to contrast the sweetness with acidity. It pairs perfectly!
