Ingredients

• 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
• 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, walnuts)
• 0.5 cup Chopped dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, apricots)
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 3 Eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 tbsp Maple syrup
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries) for serving
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, chopped nuts, chopped dried fruit, ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 2

Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of a slice of brioche bread. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread slices until you have three stuffed sandwiches.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, remaining vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

Step 4

Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not too soggy.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. When the butter is melted and bubbly, place the sandwiches in the skillet.

Step 6

Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Remove the French toast sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Dust with powdered sugar, and serve with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
