Ingredients 

Cinnamon Filling

  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

French Toast

  • 2 thin slices sourdough sandwich bread about ½ inch thick
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter for cooking

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Mix the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth. Spread it over one slice of bread and top with the second slice.
  • Whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  • Dip both sides of the sandwich into the egg mixture until evenly coated.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the filling is warm.
  • Whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm French toast and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Thin slices of sourdough sandwich bread work best for this recipe.
  • Slightly stale bread will hold up better when dipped in the batter.
  • If your bread is thicker than ½ inch, cook it over medium-low heat so the center has time to warm through.
  • Serve warm while the filling is still soft and gooey.
