Instructions

Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cheesecake mixture onto 4 slices of bread, then top with the other 4 slices to form sandwiches.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and salt.
Heat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil to grease the pan.
Dip and Coat: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides well.
Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches on the hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or whipped cream.

Notes

For a lighter version, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the filling or omit it altogether.

This recipe can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free bread.

If you don’t have cream cheese, mascarpone or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative works well.

Feel free to add fruit or chocolate chips to the filling for extra flavor.
