Churro Stuffed French Toast is a delightful breakfast treat that combines the flavors of churros and French toast, making for a sweet and indulgent morning meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on four slices of bread, then top with the remaining four slices to create sandwiches.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
- Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Once the French toast is cooked, immediately coat each piece in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve warm, optionally with maple syrup or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling.
- To make it a bit healthier, use whole grain bread and reduce the sugar in the filling.
