Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 6 slices Thick-cut bread (like Texas toast or brioche)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons Softened butter
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for icing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Set the mixture aside.
In a separate small bowl, combine brown sugar, softened butter, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon roll filling. Mix until smooth and set aside.
To prepare the cream cheese icing, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.
Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated, but do not oversoak.
Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat for all slices, adding more butter as needed.
Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon roll filling between two slices of French toast to form a stack. Repeat with the remaining slices.
Drizzle the prepared cream cheese icing over the top of each French toast stack.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious, cinnamon-infused goodness!
