Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 slices thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Butter for frying
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Spread the mixture on half of the bread slices and top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar in a shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
  5. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like berries, syrup, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Add a spoonful of fruit preserves inside for a fruity version.
  • Mix in a bit of lemon zest into the cream cheese for a tangy twist.
  • Chocolate chips or Nutella make a delicious alternative filling.
  • Use light cream cheese and skim milk for a lighter option.
  • Coat sandwiches in crushed cornflakes before frying for a crunchier texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
