French Toast Mini Cheesecake

This may seem like an unusual recipe combination but stay with me here because it’s positively magical. You may have seen French toast stuffed with cheesecake before. Well, this French Toast Mini Cheesecake is simply a variation on that.

It’s sinfully rich, creamy, and delicious. And although it may look complicated, this cheesecake is easy to make. I love that it’s already portioned out too, making it the ideal choice for a buffet, potluck, or for feeding a crowd.
