Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk

- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar

For Topping:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Assemble the French Toast
Take two slices of bread and spread the cream cheese filling generously on one side of each. Place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter.
- Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
- Place the soaked bread on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the French toast to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh berries. Serve warm and enjoy!
