Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Chopped dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, apricots)
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries) for serving
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped nuts, chopped dried fruit, ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of a slice of brioche bread. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices until you have three stuffed sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, remaining vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not too soggy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. When the butter is melted and bubbly, place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Remove the French toast sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar, and serve with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
