Stuffed French Toast Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or Texas toast works well)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
• 1/4 cup cream cheese or cheese (for stuffing)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for sweet filling)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • For a sweet filling: Mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and a dash of vanilla.
   • For a savory filling: Use your choice of cheese like mozzarella or cheddar.
2. Assemble the Sandwich:
   • Spread the filling on one slice of bread, then top with another slice to make a sandwich.
3. Make the Batter:
   • In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Dip the Sandwich:
   • Dip each sandwich into the batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let it soak briefly for extra flavor.
5. Cook the French Toast:
   • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the filling is melted.
6. Serve:
   • Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle powdered sugar, or add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
