Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices bread
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 eggs
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh berries
- Syrup
Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until uniformly creamy, creating a velvety filling.
- Generously spread the prepared mixture across half of the bread slices, then carefully sandwich with remaining bread pieces.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish, ensuring a thorough and consistent mixture.
- Dredge each assembled sandwich completely in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off for even coating.
- Heat a skillet over medium temperature (around 350°F), adding a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place sandwiches in the skillet, cooking approximately 3-4 minutes per side until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer to serving plates, ensuring the filling remains warm and slightly melted.
- Garnish with a medley of fresh seasonal berries and drizzle with maple syrup for added indulgence.
- Slice diagonally to reveal the luscious cream cheese interior and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese mixture is at room temperature for smooth spreading and easy mixing.
- Opt for thick-cut bread like brioche or challah to prevent sogginess and provide a rich, luxurious texture.
- For a lighter version, swap whole milk with almond or skim milk and use reduced-fat cream cheese.
- Create a gluten-free alternative by using gluten-free bread and checking vanilla extract ingredients for potential gluten contamination.
