2. Prepare the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until fully combined.

3. Assemble the Toast

Spread a generous layer of cream cheese filling on one slice of brioche. Top with another slice to create a sandwich.

4. Cook Until Golden

Dip both sides of each sandwich into the batter. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
