Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Churro Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture generously on 4 slices of your thick-cut bread. Top these slices with the remaining pieces to form sandwiches.
- Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
- Preheat Your Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, creating a nice buttery coating.
- Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
- Cook the French Toast: Cook each sandwich in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Mix the Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the final coating.
- Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after removing each French toast from the skillet, coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve these heavenly creations warm, with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or some chocolate sauce for extra indulgence!
Notes
Ensure your bread is thick-cut to absorb custard flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
