Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (or fruit of your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the French Toast: Spread the cream cheese mixture on two slices of bread. Add a layer of mixed berries, then top with the remaining slices of bread to create sandwiches.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or extra fresh fruit.
Notes
- You can swap the cream cheese for mascarpone, ricotta, or dairy-free alternatives for a different flavor.
- Experiment with seasonal fruits like strawberries, peaches, or bananas to change up the filling.
- For a richer flavor, toast the bread slightly before assembling the sandwiches to prevent sogginess.
