Ingredients
Scale
4 slices of thick bread (like Texas toast or brioche)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, for cooking
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of sugar until well combined.
Take two slices of bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice. Place the other two slices on top to create two sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed while cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
Once the French toast is cooked, immediately coat each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
For a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling.
To make it healthier, use whole grain bread and reduce the sugar in the filling.
