Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional: ¼ cup fresh berries, sliced banana, or chocolate chips

For the Toast:

  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche, challah, or Texas toast)

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup milk (or half-and-half for richness)

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • Butter, for the pan

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup

  • Powdered sugar

  • Fresh fruit or whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the filling:
    In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in fruit or chocolate if using.

  2. Assemble the toast:
    Spread filling onto 4 slices of bread, leaving a small border. Top with remaining slices to make sandwiches.

  3. Make the egg mixture:
    In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Dip the sandwiches:
    Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides (but not soaking too long or they’ll get soggy).

  5. Cook the French toast:
    Heat butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each stuffed sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. Serve:
    Cut in half, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit if desired.

 


Notes

  • Use day-old bread so it holds up to the filling and egg mixture.

  • For a fruity twist, try adding sliced strawberries, blueberries, or apple slices to the filling.

  • Can be assembled the night before and cooked fresh in the morning.
