Churro Stuffed French Toast with Cinnamon Sugar is a decadent breakfast treat featuring creamy cinnamon-sweetened cream cheese stuffed between thick slices of bread, dipped in a cinnamon-spiced egg batter, fried to golden perfection, and coated in a classic cinnamon sugar blend for that perfect churro-inspired crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Bread and Batter:

  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or Texas toast works best)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For Frying and Coating:

  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on 4 slices of the thick-cut bread. Top each with another slice to create four stuffed sandwiches.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter, spreading it evenly over the surface to prevent sticking.
  5. Dip the Sandwiches: Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are thoroughly coated but not overly soaked to avoid sogginess.
  6. Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches on the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and crisped to perfection.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the French toast cooks, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish to create the churro-style coating.
  8. Coat the French Toast: Right after cooking, immediately dip or sprinkle each French toast sandwich in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the surface evenly.
  9. Serve & Enjoy: Serve the churro stuffed French toast warm, optionally with maple syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast to prevent sogginess and ensure a rich texture.
  • For best results, soften the cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust cinnamon sugar coating amounts to taste for a sweeter or milder finish.
  • This dish is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the crisp texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated but are best fresh.
