Delicious Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast featuring a rich cream cheese filling between slices of thick Texas toast, dipped in a cinnamon-sugar egg mixture, and cooked to golden perfection. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, topped with fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream for added indulgence.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (1 package, softened)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Bread and Coating

  • 12 slices Texas toast (one loaf)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Optional Toppings

  • Strawberries
  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: Beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable consistency is achieved.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese filling on one side of half of the Texas toast slices. Place the remaining Texas toast slices on top to form sandwiches, with the cream cheese filling in the middle.
  3. Make Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
  4. Dip Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are completely coated for maximum flavor and texture.
  5. Cook French Toast: Heat butter on a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped sandwiches onto the hot surface and cook until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and top with fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream as desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Texas toast or any thick-sliced bread for best results to hold the cream cheese filling properly.
  • Adjust powdered sugar to taste in the cream cheese filling for desired sweetness.
  • Ensure the egg mixture coats the sandwiches completely for a crispy and flavorful crust.
  • Cook on medium heat to prevent burning before the inside is fully heated.
  • Optional toppings can be varied based on preference; fresh fruits and syrups complement the dish well.
