# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Dish these up while they're still toasty. You can totally toss on a bit of chocolate sauce, some maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream if you feel like jazzing things up.
02 -
Right after frying, toss your sandwiches in the cinnamon sugar blend so every side gets a nice sweet coat.
03 -
Pour the cinnamon and sugar into a shallow bowl, give it a quick mix with your fingers.
04 -
Warm up your skillet over medium and drop in some butter. Fry the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes each side. You want a golden crisp outside.
05 -
Take your stuffed sandwiches and dunk them quickly into the egg mixture—make sure both sides hit the mix, but don't let them get soggy.
06 -
Crack your eggs and whisk together with milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and salt in a flat dish until it's all one color.
07 -
Cover 4 bread slices with your creamy filling, then slap the rest of the bread on top so you have 4 fat stacks.
08 -
In a little bowl, mix up the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Stir it until it's perfectly smooth.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Toss a little fresh nutmeg in the egg mix to make the flavor pop even more.
02 -
Best to eat these fresh, but if you need to save some, seal them up for a day and use your oven to bring that crispy bite back.
03 -
You can easily swap the filling for fruit jam, peanut butter, or Nutella to switch things up.
