In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Take one slice of bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip one cream cheese sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked. Place it in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Remove the cooked sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. During this time, prepare your fresh fruit by washing, slicing, and assembling as desired.
Slice the sandwiches diagonally and plate them. Top with mixed fruit and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent breakfast delight!
