Ingredients
For the Filling: 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract For the French Toast: 8 slices brioche bread, thick cut 4 large eggs 1 cup whole milk 1/4 cup heavy cream 2 tbsp granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Pinch of salt Unsalted butter, for cooking For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tbsp ground cinnamon Optional toppings: fresh berries, whipped cream, caramel drizzle, maple syrup
Instructions
1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. 2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling between two slices of brioche to make sandwiches. 3. In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. 4. Dip each sandwich into custard for a few seconds per side. 5. Melt butter on a skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. 6. In a plate, mix cinnamon and sugar. Roll each sandwich in the mixture while still warm. 7. Slice, garnish with desired toppings, and serve warm.
Notes
• Use day-old brioche so it holds its shape when soaked. • Don’t over-soak the bread; it only needs a few seconds. • Cook on medium heat to prevent burning. • Best served immediately for maximum crispness.
