Caramel-laden cream cheese is stuffed inside of thick pieces of brioche and before being crisped up in a hot pan. Need we say more?
Ingredients
  • FOR STUFFING:
  • 1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
  • ½ c. caramel sauce
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • FOR FRENCH TOAST:
  • 6 thick slices brioche
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ c. whole milk
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 4 c. sweetened coconut flakes
  • Hot fudge sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
  1. MAKE FILLING:
  2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add caramel sauce and a pinch of salt and mix until smooth. Place in a ziplock bag or piping bag and set aside.
  3. Cut a 2” wide slit into the bottom of each slice of brioche to create a deep pocket. Fill each pocket with caramel mixture. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla until combined. Working with one slice at a time, dip bread, turning once, until fully soaked. Dip both sides in coconut flakes.
  4. In a large nonstick skillet over medium- heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook 2 slices bread at a time until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat to cook all slices, adding more butter to pan if needed.
  5. Drizzle with caramel sauce and hot fudge. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and serve.
