Ingredients
  

For the Cinnamon Swirl Filling:

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon milk (optional, for a smoother texture)

For the French Toast:

8 slices of thick bread (like Brioche or Challah)

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Butter, for cooking

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl Filling:

    In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and milk (if needed) until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

      Prepare the French Toast Mixture:

        In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

          Assemble the French Toast:

            Take one slice of bread and spread a generous layer of the cinnamon swirl cream cheese mixture on one side. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining slices.

              Cook the French Toast:

                Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.

                  Serve:

                    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and slice each sandwich in half diagonally. Serve warm drizzled with maple syrup, and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
