How to Make Stuffed French Toast

The steps are simple to make this French toast and takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish to make.

To make the cream cheese easy to spread, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature before mixing it together with the confectioner's sugar and the vanilla extract. Cream the mixture together until it is creamy and smooth. Softened cream cheese will make it creamier faster.

Once the cream cheese spread is made, set it aside and prepare the ingredients for the French toast dip.

Beat the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, sugar, and ground nutmeg together until well incorporated. A whisk is very useful when combining these ingredients.

When the mixture is ready to go, heat a griddle or skillet on medium heat. Add butter to the skillet or griddle and allow it get hot. Don't add the bread to a skillet that is not hot. You want the butter and ingredients to sear into the toast so that the bread isn't soggy.

Spread the cream cheese on once slice of bread and place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
