Make this rich, creamy, and golden-brown stuffed French toast for a special weekend breakfast or brunch centerpiece. It features a sweet vanilla cream cheese filling inside thick bread slices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (like Brioche or Texas Toast)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, maple syrup, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Take one slice of bread and spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side. Place another slice of bread on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling to make four sandwiches.
  3. Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
  4. Dip the sandwiches: Gently dip each side of the cream cheese sandwiches into the egg mixture, ensuring the bread is coated but not overly saturated.
  5. Cook the toast: Melt butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the stuffed French toast for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning before the center warms.
  6. Serve immediately: Slice the toast in half diagonally and top with your favorite toppings like berries and syrup. Find more great ideas on our Pinterest account.

Notes

  • Use thick bread slices; thin bread may tear when stuffed or become too soggy.
  • For a richer custard, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
  • If you are interested in structured eating plans, look into options like keto meal plan delivery for variety.
  • For a make-ahead version, assemble the sandwiches and refrigerate them overnight. Dip and cook them in the morning.
