- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter to coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15 seconds on each side. You want the bread to be saturated but not falling apart.
- Place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
- While the French toast is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Once all the bread slices are cooked, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Serve warm, and enjoy!
