Here’s how to make Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast:
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
- Mix the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spoon or hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Assemble the French Toast:
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on one slice. Top with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.
Prepare the Egg Batter:
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Cook the French Toast:
- Heat the Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Dip each cream cheese-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Serve Immediately: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
