Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah work best)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tsp vanilla extract (additional)

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup butter (for cooking)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and well-combined. Set aside.

    Assemble the Sandwiches: Take four slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on each. Top with the remaining four slices of bread to create sandwiches.

      Make the French Toast Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully blended.

        Coat the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 2 tbsp of butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

          Cook the Sandwiches: Place the soaked sandwiches on the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add additional butter as needed for cooking the remaining sandwiches.

            Serve: Remove the stuffed French toast from the skillet, slice in half on the diagonal for a beautiful presentation, and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top. Optionally, add fresh berries and whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
