Ingredients Needed for This Churro Stuffed French Toast

4 tablespoons cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

How to Make Churro Stuffed French Toast

Start by preparing the creamy filling. In a small bowl mix 4 tablespoons softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fluffy. Spread the filling on one slice of brioche and place the second slice on top to form a sandwich. Press gently so the filling stays centered.

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 half cup whole milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 eighth teaspoon salt. Whisk until the custard mixture becomes smooth.

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Dip the stuffed brioche sandwich into the custard mixture making sure both sides soak well but do not become soggy. Place the soaked sandwich in the warm pan and cook for about three to four minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip carefully and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Cook the second side for another three to four minutes until golden crisp and fully cooked through.

Transfer the French toast to a plate and let it rest for thirty seconds.

In a shallow bowl combine 1 half cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Roll the warm French toast in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely coated.

Slice and serve warm with maple syrup caramel sauce or fresh berries.

How to Serve Churro Stuffed French Toast

Serve immediately while the exterior is crisp and the creamy filling is warm. Add maple syrup caramel sauce chocolate drizzle or whipped cream. Fresh berries or sliced bananas add bright flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with hot coffee, warm milk, or fresh fruit smoothies.

How to Store Churro Stuffed French Toast

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving because it softens the coating.

To freeze, wrap slices individually and store for up to one month. Reheat in an oven or air fryer until warm and crisp.
