Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche or challah bread
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0 Maple syrup (optional, for topping)
- 0 Extra powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- 0 Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Step 2
Take the slices of brioche or challah bread and make a pocket in the middle of each slice by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
Stuff each bread pocket with about 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Press gently to seal the edges.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to create the batter.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the French toast slices.
Step 6
Dip each stuffed bread slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow the excess to drip off.
Step 7
Carefully place a slice into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Remove the deep-fried French toast from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit as toppings. Enjoy immediately!
