Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

French Toast

  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast works best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy to ensure easy spreading.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over 4 slices of the thick-cut bread. Top with the remaining 4 slices to form stuffed sandwiches, pressing gently to seal.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the surface to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
  5. Dip the Sandwiches: Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly, allowing the mixture to soak into the bread slightly for flavor and texture.
  6. Cook the French Toast: Place the coated sandwiches onto the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, till they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully to maintain the filling inside.
  7. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: While the French toast cooks, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
  8. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after cooking each sandwich, roll or sprinkle it generously in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture to give it that signature churro-inspired crunch and sweetness.
  9. Serve & Enjoy: Serve the churro stuffed French toast warm, optionally topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for an irresistible breakfast or brunch delight.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread such as brioche or Texas toast to prevent sogginess and hold the filling well.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix smoothly with powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while allowing the inside to warm through.
  • For extra indulgence, serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
  • Leftovers are best reheated in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness rather than in a microwave.
