Ingredients

French Toast Batter

  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ¼ Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Churro Cream Cheese Filling

  • 5 oz Plain Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
  • ¼ Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Whole Milk

Churro Coating

  • ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Additional Ingredients

  • 8-10 Slices Challah Bread
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray, as needed
  • Syrup, Berries, and Whipped Cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the French Toast Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Set this egg mixture aside for dipping the bread later.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, mix the room temperature cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whole milk. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set this aside to fill the bread.
  3. Mix the Churro Coating: Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a shallow plate. This mixture will coat the French toast for the signature churro flavor.
  4. Assemble the French Toast Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of challah bread. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter with about 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the French Toast: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Place them carefully in the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes per side until each is golden brown and cooked through. Repeat this process with all the sandwiches, adding more butter and oil as needed.
  7. Coat with Churro Mixture: Immediately after cooking each French toast sandwich, roll or sprinkle it in the prepared churro sugar mixture to coat thoroughly. Place cooked pieces on a plate and keep warm until serving.
  8. Serve: Top the Churro Stuffed French Toast with syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream. Enjoy this deliciously indulgent breakfast treat!

Notes

  • Use challah bread for a rich and sturdy base that holds the cream cheese filling well.
  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to make spreading easier.
  • Adjust cooking heat as needed to avoid burning the sugar coating in the skillet.
  • Can substitute canola oil with another mild oil like vegetable or grapeseed oil.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy churro coating at its best.
