Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut bread (Challah or Brioche)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tsp vanilla extract (for egg mixture)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter (for frying)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh berries (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.

    Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread. Top each with another slice to create a sandwich. Gently press the sandwiches to seal them.

      Make the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.

        Dip the Sandwiches: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted and bubbly, dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.

          Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches depending on your skillet size.

            Serve: Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice the stuffed French toast in half, plate them up, and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Garnish with fresh berries for a burst of color and flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and dig into the melty, creamy goodness!
