For French Toast:

In a small bowl, use a fork to combine cream cheese and 1 tbsp of the icing sugar for filling. Set aside

In a large bowl add the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, salt, all purpose flour and granulated sugar. Mix the batter with a hand blender or a whisk until well combined

Take two slices of bread and cut the crust, fill a small bowl with little water (1 inch) and take each slice of bread and dip the very edge of each side in the water. Just one or two millimeters. Make sure you don’t make them too soggy, then set the slices down.

Add one tbsp of the cream cheese filling in the center of one of the toast slices, then add the second toast slice on top of it and seal the edges of the toast by pressing gently but firmly with your hands on the wet edges

Dip the french toast in the batter for 2-3 second on each side

Melt butter into a non-stick pan on medium heat, add french toast and cook for 2 ½ minutes on each side

Repeat process for each french toast. You may add extra butter between each toast if needed

A Delicious And Easy Breakfast

What Kind Of Bread Makes The Best French Toast?

The top three choices of bread to use for French Toast are Brioche, French Baguette, and Challah. All of these options will yield a wonderful French Toast but we have to give the most stars to Brioche. Brioche truly makes the best tasting French Toast.

Why Is My French Toast Soggy?

If there’s too much, the egg in the mixture won’t cook, meaning wet, soggy, bread. You want the French toast to be dry on the surface with slightly crisp edges.

Top Tips For Stuffed French Toast

Find the right kind of bread. While you may be tempted to simply use whatever bread you have on hand, French toast requires an airy bread such as challah to really soak up all the custard evenly.
Make sure to whisk your custard well. You can put the custard through a strainer before you dip your bread in it to remove any remaining lumps.
Give the pan a light coating of neutral oil and butter. This will help prevent the butter from burning.

Use a hot pan

Preheat your pan. Neglecting to fully preheat the pan before adding French toast can result in the custard bleeding out from the bread and forming a skin around the edge of the toast.
