Ingredients
  

1 loaf of thick-cut brioche or challah bread (about 8 slices)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Butter, for frying

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

    Assemble the French Toast: Take two slices of the brioche or challah bread. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one slice, then top with the other slice to create a sandwich. Repeat until all slices are used.

      Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

        Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface.

          Dip the Sandwiches: Take each cream cheese-stuffed sandwich and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

            Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter to the pan as needed for frying.

              Serve: Remove from the skillet and slice on a diagonal if desired. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a scattering of fresh berries if using.

                Enjoy: Revel in the ooey-gooey goodness of your Dreamy Cream Cheese-Stuffed French Toast!
