For the French Toast:

• 4 thick slices of brioche or Texas toast
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Butter for cooking

For the Filling:

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

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp melted butter

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. This will be your creamy churro-inspired filling!

2. Assemble the Stuffed French Toast

• Spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread.
• Top with another slice to make a sandwich.
• Repeat with the remaining bread slices.

3. Prepare the French Toast Batter

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.

4. Dip & Cook the French Toast

• Heat a buttered skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Dip each stuffed French toast sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.

5. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

• In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
• Brush the warm French toast with melted butter, then immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

6. Serve & Enjoy!

Slice the churro stuffed French toast diagonally and serve warm. Pair it with:

✔ Maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness
✔ Fresh berries for a pop of freshness
✔ Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch
✔ Chocolate drizzle for a dessert-style twist

My Tips for the Best Churro Stuffed French Toast

• Use thick bread – Brioche or Texas toast works best for holding the creamy filling.
• Don’t over-soak the bread – Dip it just long enough to coat but not make it soggy.
• Cook on medium heat – This ensures the French toast cooks evenly without burning before the inside is warm.
• Coat while warm – The cinnamon sugar sticks best when the French toast is fresh off the skillet.

Fun Variations & Add-Ins

• Chocolate-Stuffed Churro French Toast – Add Nutella inside with the cream cheese mixture for a chocolatey twist!
• Strawberry Churro French Toast – Mix in chopped fresh strawberries to the cream cheese filling.
• Dulce de Leche Churro French Toast – Drizzle with dulce de leche or caramel sauce before serving.
• Pumpkin Spice Churro French Toast – Swap cinnamon for pumpkin spice for a fall-inspired version.

FAQs (From My Kitchen to Yours)

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can assemble the stuffed bread the night before, store in the fridge, and cook fresh in the morning.

Q: Can I freeze leftover French toast?
A: Absolutely! Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Q: What’s the best bread for stuffed French toast?
A: Brioche and Texas toast are the best choices because they’re thick, soft, and soak up the batter without falling apart.

Q: Can I make this without eggs?
A: Yes! Replace the eggs with ½ cup milk + 1 tbsp cornstarch, whisking well to create a similar batter.
