Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut brioche or challah bread

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for egg mixture)

A pinch of salt

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

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

    Assemble the Stuffed Toast: Take four slices of the brioche or challah bread. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on the inside of each slice, then top with another slice of bread to create sandwiches.

      Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.

        Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

          Dip and Cook: Dip each stuffed sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the sandwiches gently in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If your skillet is small, you may need to do this in batches.

            Serve: Remove the stuffed French toast from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled over the top and fresh berries sprinkled alongside for garnish.

              Enjoy: Gather around the table and delight in your heavenly creation, perfect for brunch or a decadent breakfast treat!
