Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese 1 package softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ½ cup whole cranberry sauce not jellied
  • 12 slices of Texas Toast one loaf
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Lay the bread out on a counter for a half hour to let it dry out slightly. This will help keep it from getting too soggy when soaking up the egg mixture later.
  • Beat together cream cheese until smooth then add the powdered sugar, orange juice and zest and beat again until you have a spreadable consistency. Fold in the cranberry sauce.
  • Spread a thick layer of cream cheese filling on one side of half of the Texas Toast. Top with a second piece of Texas toast, forming a sandwich with cream cheese filling in the middle.
  • In a small bowl whisk eggs, milk, granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture to coat completely.
  • Melt butter on a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until golden brown on both sides.
  • Add a scoop of whipped cream topping or sprinkle tops with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use thick bread. Thicker bread will hold up better to the cream cheese filling. Texas Toast is what I recommend. And let it sit out for about 30 minutes to dry out before  soaking in egg.
  • Use the widest spatula you have for flipping. You don't want the french toast sandwich dropping over the sides so the filling can spill out.
  • Use a flat griddle if you have one, or a large skillet. Make sure that the bottom sits completely flat so all edges of the bread can brown.
