Print Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring thick slices of bread stuffed with a creamy, slightly sweetened cream cheese filling, soaked in a cinnamon-vanilla egg batter, and cooked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, Texas toast, or challah)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or almond milk
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for batter)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking (unsalted butter preferred)
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries or fruit compote, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of 4 bread slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices to make sandwiches and gently press to seal.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the batter, soaking about 20-30 seconds per side without oversoaking.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter. Cook the soaked sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, adjusting heat as needed.

Notes

Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast for best results. Avoid oversoaking the bread in batter to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs and softened cream cheese for smoother texture. For dairy-free or gluten-free adaptations, substitute ingredients accordingly. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispness.
