A crispy, golden-brown French toast stuffed with a creamy filling and coated in cinnamon sugar—just like your favorite churros! Perfect for a sweet breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients:
For the French Toast:
8 slices of thick-cut brioche bread
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
Butter or oil for frying
For the Filling:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assemble the Toast: Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on one slice of brioche, then top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.
Prepare the Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt some butter or heat a little oil over medium heat.
Dip and Cook: Dip each stuffed bread sandwich into the custard mixture, coating both sides, then place it on the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Coat the French Toast: While still warm, roll or sprinkle the cooked French toast with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve & Enjoy: Slice, drizzle with syrup, and enjoy your crispy, churro-inspired French toast!
