Make this decadent stuffed French toast for a special weekend brunch. It features a crispy exterior and a warm, creamy cream cheese filling, topped with fresh berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 thick slices Brioche or Challah bread
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries) for topping
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. This is your filling.
  2. Take four slices of bread. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each of these four slices.
  3. Place the remaining four slices of bread on top of the filling to create four sandwiches. Gently press the edges together to seal the filling inside.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, and cinnamon until combined.
  5. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides quickly. Do not let the bread soak too long, or it will become soggy.
  6. Heat the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  7. Cook the stuffed French toast for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning before the center warms.
  8. Slice each piece in half diagonally. Serve immediately topped with fresh mixed berries and maple syrup.

Notes

  • For a crispier outside, use slightly stale bread.
  • To prevent the filling from leaking during cooking, firmly press the edges of the bread together after stuffing.
  • You can prepare the cream cheese filling up to one day ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
