Description
Golden French toast stuffed with a creamy sweetened cream cheese filling, creating a decadent and comforting breakfast or brunch dish perfect for special mornings or weekend indulgence.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
For the French Toast
- 8 slices thick bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the sweetened cream cheese filling evenly over 4 slices of the thick bread. Then, place the remaining 4 bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each stuffed bread sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated but not soaked through.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the pan. Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Cook gently to warm the filling through without burning the bread.
- Serve Warm: Once cooked, serve the stuffed French toast immediately while warm, optionally with fresh fruit or syrup on the side.
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding fresh fruit or your favorite jam for added flavor.
- Cook the French toast gently on medium heat to ensure the cream cheese filling warms through without the bread burning.
- Use thick slices of bread to hold the filling better and prevent sogginess.
