Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. If you’re using beef bacon, fold it into the cream cheese mixture for a delightful surprise!
3. Take 4 slices of brioche bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. Top with the remaining 4 slices to create sandwiches.
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
5. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.
