​
           One of my favorite breakfast foods ever is French Toast! (I have talked about that here.) On that post I gave you a recipe for Pumpkin Gingerbread French Toast with Lemon Sauce.  It was so good and I have been thinking about other breads that would be over the top awesome as French Toast.  I thought about Cinnamon Swirl Bread, and that sounded good but like it has been done.  Then, I thought about Cheese Danish and how much I love it.  (My husband once wrote me a poem about it when we were engaged, so it has always held a special place in my heart since then.)  I thought to myself, "What if you make a Cinnamon Cheese Danish Swirl Bread and tun that into French Toast?"  Whelp, that is what I did! 
            I started with a recipe for sweet bread that makes only one loaf.  One loaf is never enough, so I doubled it.  I ended up with 4 loaves!  Don't even ask me how that happened! I used my Kitchen Aid because I thought that this was going to be a small 2 loaf recipe.  If I had known what was going to happen, I would have used my Bosch.   But, here is an overview and how I did it and what I will do differently next time.
Begin by proofing your yeast for 10 min. You want a good rise.
This is how it will look after the first rise.
Roll out the dough and spread with the cream cheese mixture, then add sugar and cinnamon. Lots of cinnamon!
Here is one of the loaves fresh out of the oven.

            You will note that in the recipe I tell you to put a lot of cinnamon in the filling.  I tell you that because when the bread rises, the cinnamon spreads out.  I wish that I had put more in this batch.  So, just a word to the wise.    
​               Now, next we will make the French Toast!

Here is one of the lovely loaves!

Now, slice some up for French Toast. This loaf is the style where I spread the cream cheese evenly throughout. I found that the cream cheese mixture soaked into the bread quite a bit. But, you can still see some in there. Do you see how there could have been more cinnamon?

In this loaf, I put the snake of cream cheese, but I didn't put it close enough to the starting edge to get it in the middle. I will do that better next time. But, the taste was wonderful.
           When I make French Toast batter, it goes like this:  2 eggs, about 1/4 c. milk, 1 tsp of vanilla, 2 T. sugar, a dash of salt and cinnamon if desired.  (I desired cinnamon.)  Whisk it all together in a wide shallow bowl, then, dip in your bread slices and cook on a hot griddle. (Here is the cast iron griddle I use and love.  Here is an electric griddle that I also use and love, it all depends on how I feel that day!).
I didn't have any trouble with the cream cheese on the griddle. It was so good!
I added more cinnamon because I wasn't satisfied with the amount in my bread.

I like my French Toast with butter and powdered sugar. Many in my family prefer syrup. Either way is delectable!

Hi, I love anything with cinnamon in. This looks delicious. Sadly, it is no good for me as I'm dairy free. Thanks for sharing #twinklytuesday

Chloe, my daughter is also dairy free and has found some good dairy free cream cheese products! I am sure this recipe would work with one of those! Thanks for the comment!
