Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Butter, for frying
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each bread slice, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fill each bread pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, spreading it evenly inside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated.
Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter if needed for additional batches.
Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and transfer to a plate.
Serve immediately, topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
