- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the Churro Filling:

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture generously between two slices of bread to create a sandwich.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
- Place the coated sandwich in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

- Once cooked, immediately coat the French toast in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
