This Stuffed Churro French Toast recipe is a delicious twist on classic French toast, featuring a creamy cinnamon and vanilla-spiced cream cheese filling sandwiched between slices of white bread. The toast is dipped in a rich egg and milk mixture, cooked to golden perfection on the stovetop, and then coated with a cinnamon-sugar blend to mimic churro flavors. A sweet powdered sugar glaze drizzle adds the finishing touch, making it a perfect indulgent breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Glaze

  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • About 1 cup powdered sugar

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 5 oz cream cheese, softened (from 8-oz package)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

French Toast

  • 16 slices white sandwich bread
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together 3 ounces of softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons milk, and enough powdered sugar (about 1 cup) to create a thin, drizzle-able glaze. Cover and set aside.
  2. Mix cinnamon sugar: In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; set this mixture aside for coating the cooked toast.
  3. Make the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, blend 5 ounces softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Prepare the bread: Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread to about 1/4 inch thickness. Spread around 1 heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese filling on 8 slices. Top each with one of the remaining 8 bread slices to make sandwiches.
  5. Cook the French toast: Spray a griddle or 12-inch skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium (around 350°F). In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 3 eggs until fully blended. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture thoroughly, then place on the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning once, until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Coat and serve: Dip the cooked French toast slices, one at a time, into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating both sides well. Shake off excess sugar, slice diagonally in half, and drizzle with the prepared cream cheese glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly firm bread to help create sturdy stuffed French toast sandwiches that hold their shape better.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and spreading.
  • If you prefer, use a nonstick skillet instead of a griddle for even cooking.
  • The glaze can be adjusted by adding more powdered sugar to thicken or more milk to thin as desired.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, but leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
