Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of thick-cut brioche bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional for a savory twist)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar)
  • Butter, for cooking

Instructions

  • Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
    In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. If you’re using beef bacon, fold it into the cream cheese mixture for a delightful savory twist!
  • Assemble the French Toast Sandwiches:
    Take 4 slices of brioche bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. Top with the remaining 4 slices to create sandwiches.
  • Cook the French Toast:
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
    While the French toast is cooking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  • Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
    Once the French toast is cooked, remove from the skillet and immediately coat each side in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Serve:
    Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon sugar on top. Enjoy the beautiful contrast of colors and flavors!

Notes

  • You can add fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas as an extra topping for a burst of freshness.
  • For a more savory twist, the optional beef bacon adds a rich, crispy element that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar.
