Making Stuffed French Toast:

• Beat the filling ingredient until smooth in a mixing bowl.
• Spread a thick layer of filling on one side of half of the slices of bread. Top with remaining bread slices to form sandwich.
• Whisk the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a large mixing bowl; set aside.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium low heat. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, turning a few times to coat. Let the excess egg mixture drip off. Place in skillet and cook 4-5 minutes, flip and cook an additional 4-5 minute or until golden brown and crispy on each side.
• Remove from pan and slice in half on the diagonal; place on platter and top with desired toppings.

Recipe Tips and Notes:

• Keeping stuffed french toast warm is so easy, and you can make a huge batch!  Simply put the french toast on a large baking sheet.  Then, place i nthe oven at 250 degrees for up to 20 minutes before serving.
• You can freeze this french toast!  Make them into sandwiches first.  The, freeze before dipping in the egg mixture.  When ready to serve, pull the sandwiches out of the freezer to thaw at room temp for at least 30 minutes.  Then, make as directed.
• Reheating stuffed french toast is easy, and you’ll want to do it in the oven.  Bake on a greased baking sheet at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.  Keep an eye on your french toast, and make sure to flip halfway through.  You can also place them in a buttered skillet over medium heat and cook until golden!

Cook 10 minutes mins

Total 25 minutes mins

Servings 6

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

Filling

• ▢ 8 oz cream cheese softened
• ▢ ⅓ c. powdered sugar
• ▢ 1 tsp vanilla extract

French Toast

• ▢ 12 slices of Texas Toast or thick cut sturdy bread
• ▢ 4 eggs
• ▢ 1 c. whole milk

Instructions 

• In a mixing bowl beat together the filling ingredients until smooth.
• Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese filling on one side of half of the slices of Texas Toast. Top with the remaining bread slices to form a sandwich. We recommend leaving roughly a ½’’ board around the edges.

• In a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat melt butter. Dip sandwiches in egg mixture, turning a few times to thoroughly coat. Let excess egg mixture drip off “sandwiches”. Place on griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on each side. Keep heat low to avoid burning.
• Remove from pan and slice in half on the diagonal; place on platter, top with desired toppings and serve.

• Cooked french toast can be held in a 250 degree oven for up to 1 hour before serving.
