Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (brioche or challah)
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Butter (for cooking)
- to taste Maple syrup or fresh fruit (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread, then top with the remaining 4 slices to create 4 cream cheese-filled sandwiches.
In a large shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each cream cheese-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let excess egg mixture drip off before placing it on the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate. Optionally dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or serve with fresh fruit.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cream Cheese French Toast!
