Ingredients
Scale
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the French Toast
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that there are no lumps.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto two slices of bread. Then, place the remaining two slices of bread on top to form sandwiches, gently pressing to seal the edges.
- Make the egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until fully blended and the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a generous pat of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the skillet evenly to prevent sticking.
- Dip and fry the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Carefully place them in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet once cooked through.
- Serve: Plate the stuffed French toast and serve warm, drizzled with syrup or topped with your favorite fruits for an indulgent breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use thicker sliced bread like brioche or Texas toast for a richer texture.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier and ensure a smooth filling.
- To prevent sogginess, do not soak the sandwiches too long in the egg mixture.
- Butter the skillet enough to avoid sticking and to get a nice golden crust.
- Feel free to add fresh berries or sliced bananas as toppings for extra flavor and nutrition.
