Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut brioche or challah bread

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for egg mixture)

A pinch of salt

Butter or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the skillet)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Once mixed, set it aside.

    Assemble the Stuffed Toast: Take four slices of the brioche or challah bread. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling onto one side of each slice. Top each slice with another piece of bread to form sandwiches, ensuring the filling is enclosed.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, crack the four large eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add the milk, an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and frothy.

        Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add about one tablespoon of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt completely, or spray the skillet generously with non-stick cooking spray to prepare the cooking surface.

          Dip and Cook: Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are well-coated but not soaking. Once coated, gently place the sandwiches into the heated skillet. Cook each sandwich for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and are fully cooked through. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook the sandwiches in batches.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the stuffed French toast from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for about a minute. For serving, slice each sandwich in half diagonally to showcase the creamy filling. Drizzle warm maple syrup over the top and scatter fresh berries alongside for a pop of color and freshness.

              Enjoy: Gather around the table and savor every bite of your heavenly creation, perfect for a special brunch or a luxurious breakfast treat!
