This recipe wasn't something my mom made when I was young, although, she did make traditional French toast.   Nope, this was a recipe that I discovered from her when I got older.  She made it one weekend while I was visiting with my kids and I instantly fell in love with it.

It's pretty filling, so, I wouldn't  recommend it for your everyday weekday breakfast, but, it is perfect for a special occasion,  brunch or simply when you want a sweet treat.

Recipe Notes

Bread

I recommend using a thicker sliced bread.  For example, Texas toast or a brioche. Don't get me wrong...any type of sliced bread will work for this.  However, a thicker bread will hold up better once it's dipped in the egg mixture. 

Cream Cheese

I like to use a whipped cream cheese for this recipe.  It's easier to work with and spread on the bread slices.  But, go with your favorite brand and flavor.  Let it soften before use to make your life easier.
