Ingredients for Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast

  • 12 brioche bread slices
  • 8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Eggland’s Best large eggs
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, Eggland’s Best eggs, cinnamon, and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the cream cheese filling on one side of a brioche bread slice. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.

FAQs

Can I make the cream cheese filling ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the cream cheese filling the night before and store it in the fridge. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before using it to make the sandwiches for easier spreading.

What can I use instead of powdered sugar?

You can substitute powdered sugar with granulated sugar, but it will not dissolve as smoothly. If you don't have powdered sugar, you could also use a small amount of honey or maple syrup in the cream cheese mixture for a different flavor.

How do I know when the French toast is done?

The French toast should be golden brown on both sides. You can check the center by gently pressing on it with a spatula—if it’s firm and not soggy, it’s done. Be sure to cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while the inside cooks.

What toppings would pair well with this dish?

Toppings like fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), whipped cream, maple syrup, honey, or even a dusting of powdered sugar are great choices. For a more decadent touch, you can add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or Nutella.

Can I make this recipe without eggs?

Yes, you can make an egg-free version of this French toast by using a plant-based egg replacer like flaxseed meal mixed with water, or you can use silken tofu blended with a little vanilla and milk as a substitute for the egg mixture.

What’s the best way to reheat leftover French toast?

To reheat leftover French toast, place it on a baking sheet and heat it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until it’s heated through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a toaster or on a skillet.
