# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and uniform.
02 -
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over 4 slices of bread. Top each with a remaining bread slice to create 4 sandwiches.
03 -
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
04 -
Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated without oversoaking.
05 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
06 -
In a shallow bowl, mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon for the coating.
07 -
Immediately after frying, dredge each stuffed French toast in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat all sides generously.
08 -
Serve warm, optionally garnishing with maple syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For deeper flavor, add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to the egg batter.
02 -
French toast is best enjoyed immediately but may be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
03 -
Alternative fillings such as Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit preserves may be used in place of cream cheese for variation.
