Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 12 slices Texas toast (one loaf)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Butter (for cooking)
  • Optional toppings: fresh strawberries or frozen berries, warm maple syrup, whipped cream, banana slices, chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), cinnamon-sugar

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.
  2. Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one slice of Texas toast, then top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat to make six sandwiches.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt some butter.
  5. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well and allowing some to soak in.
  6. Place the soaked sandwiches on the skillet and cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides, flipping once.
  7. Transfer to plates and top with your choice of toppings such as strawberries, syrup, whipped cream, bananas, nuts, or cinnamon-sugar.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for extra richness.
  • Add lemon zest or swirl jam into the cream cheese for variety.
  • You can make the cream cheese sandwiches ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Frozen berries work well if slightly warmed before serving.
  • For a savoury twist, use herbed cream cheese and omit sugar and vanilla.
