Is there a way to use Read-Host using inline syntax in powershell?

Question

I have a command Get-Aduser -Filter 'Surname -like "Doe"' -properties * | Format-List, but I'd like to use it with a Read-Host cmdlet using inline syntax. Something similar to

Get-Aduser -Filter 'Surname -like "{Read-Host -prompt "User surname?"}"' -properties * | Format-List

What is a correct syntax to do so? or the proper way to do so is to use a one-liners and the pipeline?

This is it

Get-Aduser -Filter "Surname -like ""$(read-host -prompt "User surname?")""" -properties * | Format-List

Easier way to do it is "Surname -like '$(Read-Host -Prompt 'User surname?')'". Doesn't require triple " to close it.
