  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 1First, 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.
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 2For the French toasts:
    In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the brioche (milk + eggs + sugar + vanilla extract).
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 3Cut the brioche into slices (if not pre-sliced) and soak the slices in the previous mixture.
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 4In a square mold (greased and lined with baking paper), place the soaked brioche slices.
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 5Once the base is covered, pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the brioche.
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 6Next, make the final layer of French toasts. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 140°C (280°F).
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 7When 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!
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 8Remove 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.
  • Cheesecake and french toast bars - Preparation step 9Serve 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!
