Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until creamy.
Mix the Churro Coating: In a separate dish, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Assemble the Stuffed French Toast: Spread cream cheese filling onto one slice of challah bread, then top with another slice to make a sandwich.
Cook the French Toast:
- Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage.
- Cook for 2-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, roll each toast in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve Immediately: Top with syrup, whipped cream, berries, or caramel drizzle. Enjoy!

Notes

Use thick-cut bread for best results.
Don’t oversoak the bread in the egg mixture.
For a healthier option, bake instead of frying.
The churro coating sticks best when the toast is warm.
