Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter on the skillet.
Carefully place the soaked French toast sandwiches onto the hot skillet.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
Brush each side of the cooked French toast with melted butter.
Immediately dredge each side in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
Tips and Variations:
Bread Choice: Brioche is the ideal choice for this recipe because it’s rich and sturdy, but you can also use challah, Texas toast, or any other thick-cut bread that can hold its shape when soaked in custard.
Cream Cheese Filling Variations: Add mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a swirl of dulce de leche to the cream cheese filling for extra flavor.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon sugar for a little kick.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the stuffed French toast sandwiches ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent them from drying out.
Baking Option: If you prefer to bake the French toast, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). After dipping the French toast in the custard, place them on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Then, brush with melted butter and coat in cinnamon sugar.
Serving Suggestions: This Churro Stuffed French Toast is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
