Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter.
In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto slices of bread and form sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Cook the sandwiches on the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Immediately toss cooked French toast in a sugar and cinnamon mixture.
