Make this rich, decadent cream cheese stuffed French toast for a special weekend brunch. It features a crispy exterior and a soft, creamy vanilla filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick bread (Brioche or Texas Toast recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Butter or oil for the griddle
  • Optional toppings: Powdered sugar, fresh berries, maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Take four slices of bread. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each of these four slices.
  3. Place the remaining four slices of bread on top of the cream cheese-covered sides to create four sandwiches. Gently press the edges together.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined. This is your custard mixture.
  5. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the custard mixture, coating both sides briefly. Do not over-soak the bread.
  6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  7. Cook the stuffed French toast for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if the outside browns too quickly before the center warms.
  8. Slice the stuffed French toast in half diagonally and serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture; thin bread may tear when stuffed.
  • For a berry variation, mix 1/2 cup of mashed strawberries or whole blueberries into the cream cheese filling before stuffing.
  • If you prefer a baked version, assemble the stuffed toast in a casserole dish, pour the custard over the top, let it soak for 30 minutes or overnight, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden.
