Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 3 ounces room-temperature cream cheese with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in 1½ tablespoons raspberry jam. In a shallow dish, whisk together ¼ cup milk, 1 large egg, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
-
Step 2.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each of the 4 brioche slices. Divide ¼ cup raspberries between 2 of the slices, then top with the remaining 2 slices (cream cheese side down) to form 2 sandwiches, pressing gently.
-
Step 3.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
-
Step 4.
Dust the cooked French toast with confectioners' sugar. Serve with maple syrup and additional raspberries.
