Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Take two slices of brioche or challah bread and spread the cream cheese mixture between them to create a sandwich.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
  4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Press both sides into the shredded coconut.
  5. In a heated skillet, add butter and let it melt. Cook the coconut-coated sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer cooked French Toast to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
