Assemble the sandwiches
Spread the cream cheese mixture between slices of sturdy low-carb bread. Press the sandwiches together gently so the filling stays inside.
Dip the French toast
Coat each sandwich in the egg mixture without letting the bread soak too long.
Cook until golden
Cook the stuffed French toast in butter over medium-low heat until golden on both sides and warmed through in the center.
Tips for Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
- Use sturdy bread: Thin or very soft slices are more likely to tear or become soggy once filled.
- Don’t over-soak the bread: Dip it long enough to coat the outside without saturating the center.
- Cook over medium-low heat: This gives the filling time to warm while the outside browns without burning.
- Add toppings to taste: Finish with keto cinnamon sugar, fresh berries, keto whipped cream, or sugar-free maple syrup.
How Do You Keep Stuffed French Toast From Getting Soggy?
Use sturdy slices of bread and avoid leaving the sandwiches in the egg mixture for too long. Cooking over medium-low heat also helps the center warm through without over-browning the outside.
What Bread Is Best for Stuffed French Toast?
For this recipe, use a sturdy low-carb bread that can hold the cream cheese filling without falling apart. Sola, Aldi Keto Bread, Franz, or another sliced keto bread can work well.
Can You Use Heavy Cream Instead of Milk for French Toast?
Yes. Heavy cream makes the custard richer and works especially well with the cream cheese filling in this recipe.

Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- ¼ cup Organic Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp keto cinnamon sugar
- 6 slices Low Carb Bread
- Salted Butter, for cooking
Blueberry Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp Granular Sweetener
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Lemon Juice
- ¼ cup blueberries, I used frozen and microwaved them for 15 seconds
Instructions
- Whisk the heavy cream, eggs, and keto cinnamon sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
- Mix the berry filling ingredients in another bowl: cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in another bowl. Fold in the berries.
- Make three sandwiches by laying the cream cheese mixture between the slices of bread
- Dip the sandwiches in the milk and egg mixture. Set aside.
- Heat a medium frying pan to medium-low heat – keto breads will burn if the temperature is too high. It’s best to cook these lower than your typical french toast.
- Add 1 tbsp of salted butter to the pan per batch – I tend to cook these two at a time in a traditional griddle skillet
- Cook the stuffed french toast for about 3 minutes per side (or until they are brown).
- Top with more keto cinnamon sugar, sugar free whipped cream, or sugar-free syrup.

Recipe Notes
- Use sturdy low-carb bread: Thin or very soft slices can tear once filled.
- Don’t over-soak: Dip each sandwich just long enough to coat the bread.
- Keep the heat medium-low: This allows the filling to warm before the outside gets too dark.
- Net carbs vary by bread: The final carb count depends on the brand of low-carb bread you use.
