Bread and Filling
- 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work great)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Topping
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with 1 tsp of sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
- Stuff the bread: Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the cinnamon cream cheese onto one slice of bread, then top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.
- Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Dip the sandwiches: Submerge the stuffed bread sandwiches into the egg mixture, letting each side soak for 10-15 seconds to absorb the liquid without falling apart.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil. Place the dipped sandwiches onto the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: While cooking, mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Coat the toast: Once cooked, immediately toss or sprinkle the warm French toast sandwiches with the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Serve: Serve warm as a delicious breakfast or dessert, optionally with syrup or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Use thick bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and support of the filling.
- Chill the cream cheese mixture briefly if it’s too soft to spread easily.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar ratio to your sweetness preference.
- Ensure the pan is not too hot to prevent burning before the inside is cooked.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
