Ingredients
For the Filling:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the French Toast:
8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast recommended)
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble: Spread the filling evenly on 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice to form sandwiches.
Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
Dip & Cook: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place on the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, coat each French toast sandwich in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve: Serve warm with optional toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
Notes
For best results, use day-old brioche or Texas toast to prevent sogginess.
You can substitute the cream cheese filling with Nutella or fruit preserves for variety.
Adjust the sweetness to taste—add more or less sugar in the coating or filling.
