Ingredients
  

For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the French Toast
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread such as brioche or challah
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter for cooking
For Serving
  • Maple syrup

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Griddle
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Butter Knife or Spatula
  • Plate

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Step 2: Take four slices of your thick-cut bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. Top these with the remaining four slices of bread to create sandwiches.
  3. Step 3: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
  4. Step 4: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface of the skillet.
  5. Step 5: Take each sandwich and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are thoroughly coated.
  6. Step 6: Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Step 7: Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup on top.

Notes

You can prepare the cream cheese filling and assemble the sandwiches the night before. Just store them in the refrigerator and dip them in the egg mixture before cooking in the morning.
