Recipe
French Toast Stuffed With Cream Cheese is a decadent breakfast or brunch dish that combines the classic flavors of French toast with a rich, creamy filling. This recipe is perfect for those who enjoy a sweet and indulgent start to their day.
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche or challah works best)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup and fresh berries (for serving)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread, then top with the remaining slices to make sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, guaranteeing both sides are well-coated.
- Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries.
Notes:
- For a richer flavor, use flavored cream cheese or add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
- Confirm the skillet isn’t too hot to prevent burning the bread.

What To Serve With It
When I’m whipping up French toast stuffed with cream cheese, I love pairing it with something fresh or slightly tangy to balance the richness.
For toppings suggestions, try berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar—they add brightness without overpowering the dish.
Beverage pairings matter too: a cold glass of orange juice cuts through the creaminess, while coffee with a splash of milk complements the sweetness.
Sometimes, I’ll even serve it with a side of crispy bacon for a salty contrast.
It’s all about finding that perfect bite that makes every forkful unforgettable.
