Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth and creamy.
  2. Take two slices of brioche or challah bread and spread a generous portion of the cream cheese filling on one side of each slice. Press to create a sandwich.
  3. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the milk. Whisk together until thoroughly blended.
  4. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side. Let excess drip off before coating in shredded coconut.
  5. Place a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Fry each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  6. Transfer the cooked French toast to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
