Ingredients
  

For the French Toast
  • 4 slices Thick-Cut Brioche or Challah This bread yields a deliciously soft and crispy texture perfect for holding the filling.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Provides a rich, creamy filling; for a lighter option, use dairy-free cream cheese.
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar Sweetens the filling and the coating; coconut sugar is a healthier substitute.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Adds that signature churro flavor; feel free to adjust the amount to suit your taste.
  • 2 large Eggs These are essential for creating that custardy, smooth texture.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Ensures the custard mixture is silky; almond milk works well for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile with warm sweetness.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Vital for frying to a golden-brown crispy finish.
For Coating and Serving
  • 1/4 cup Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture A delightful coating that gives your French toast that classic churro feel.
  • Maple Syrup or Chocolate Sauce These toppings add an extra touch of sweetness and indulgence.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Churro Stuffed French Toast
  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and melt completely.
  2. Combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Blend until smooth, then spread over one slice of bread and top with another slice to create a sandwich.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla extract to form a custard mixture.
  4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side.
  5. Cook the stuffed sandwiches on the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  6. Toss the cooked French toast in a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar for coating.
  7. Slice and serve immediately, drizzled with maple syrup or chocolate sauce, and optionally pair with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
