# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 -
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
03 -
4 oz cream cheese (let it get soft beforehand)
→ French Toast
04 -
2 tablespoons butter to fry
05 -
Pinch of salt
06 -
2 tablespoons sugar (white, not brown)
07 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
08 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 -
1/2 cup milk
10 -
2 eggs, large
11 -
8 thick bread slices, like Texas toast or brioche
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
12 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
13 -
1/2 cup sugar (granulated)
# Instructions:
01 -
Enjoy while it's warm. If you want, pile on some syrup, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream.
02 -
Once fried, toss each stuffed French toast right into the cinnamon sugar mix so they're covered all over.
03 -
In a wide, shallow bowl, stir the cinnamon powder and sugar together. That's your topping.
04 -
Drop some butter into a hot non-stick skillet on medium. Brown both sides of each sandwich till golden and crisp—should take 3 to 4 minutes per side.
05 -
Dip every assembled sandwich in the eggy mixture. Turn them so both sides are damp but don't let them fall apart from soaking too long.
06 -
Crack eggs into a dish that's wide and shallow. Add salt, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk, then whisk till you get an even mix.
07 -
Spread the cream cheese filling on half your bread slices. Top each with another to seal it up like a sandwich.
08 -
Take a small bowl and toss in your soft cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix everything till really smooth and blended.
# Notes:
01 -
Sprinkle in a bit of fresh nutmeg when making the egg wash for a kick of flavor.
02 -
Tastes best eaten hot, but you can store leftovers in a covered container for up to a day and warm in your oven to crisp them again.
03 -
Switch things up with other fillings—try jam, peanut butter, or Nutella instead of cream cheese if you'd like.
