Description
Churro Stuffed French Toast is a delightful fusion of two beloved breakfast favorites. Thick slices of brioche bread are stuffed with a creamy, sweetened cream cheese filling, then dipped in an egg mixture and cooked to golden-brown perfection. The finished French toast is dusted with a cinnamon-sugar coating, creating a crunchy exterior that gives way to a soft, luscious interior.
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut brioche bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. If you want to add a savory element, stir in the crumbled beef bacon at this stage.
2. Make the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. This will be the dipping mixture for the French toast.
3. Assemble the Toast: Spread the cream cheese filling between two slices of brioche bread to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and filling to make as many stuffed French toast sandwiches as desired.
4. Cook the French Toast: Melt a generous amount of butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each stuffed French toast sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Cook the French toast for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create a cinnamon sugar coating.
6. Coat & Serve: As soon as the Churro Stuffed French Toast comes off the heat, sprinkle or dip the slices in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating. Serve the warm, decadent French toast immediately.
Notes
Churro Stuffed French Toast is best served fresh and warm. Consider pairing it with crispy bacon, fresh fruit salad, or a light fruit smoothie for a complete breakfast experience.
