Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 4 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 2 large eggs
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (or fruit of your choice)
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking and Serving Components:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a velvety filling by blending softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until silky and uniform in texture.
- Generously spread the prepared cream cheese mixture across two bread slices, creating a luxurious base for the stuffed toast.
- Carefully distribute mixed berries atop the cream cheese layer, ensuring even coverage for balanced flavor in each bite.
- Complete the sandwich by gently pressing the remaining bread slices on top, sealing the fruity cream cheese filling within.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a wide, shallow dish, creating a fragrant and rich coating for the sandwiches.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat, melting butter to create a golden, crisp exterior for the french toast.
- Delicately immerse each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing both sides to absorb the aromatic liquid evenly.
- Place the coated sandwiches onto the heated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until achieving a deep golden-brown color and crispy edges.
- Transfer the stuffed french toast to serving plates, garnishing with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a scattering of fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Cream cheese filling can be customized by adding zest from oranges or lemons for extra brightness and complex flavor profiles.
- Swap traditional white bread with whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions and enhance nutritional value.
- Choose slightly stale bread for better absorption of egg mixture, preventing soggy centers and ensuring crispy exterior edges.
- Prevent burning by using medium-low heat and watching carefully during cooking, as cream cheese filling can quickly caramelize and turn bitter if overheated.
