Caramelized Mango and Cream Cheese Layered Stuffed French Toast

Yields1 Serving

 4 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
 1 ½ cups Diced Mango (reserve ½ cup for topping)
 4 tbsp butter (plus 1 tablespoon for frying)
 ¼ cup brown sugar
 8 oz cream cheese, softened
 ¼ cup powdered sugar
 3 large eggs
 ¾ cup half-and-half or whole milk
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
 Powdered sugar for garnish
 Maple syrup (optional)
Caramelize the Mango:
1

In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter.

2

Add 1 ½ cups diced mango and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, until softened.

3

Sprinkle in the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and coats the mango, forming a caramelized glaze.

4

Reserve ½ cup of the caramelized mango for topping and let the remaining mango cool slightly.

Prepare the Mango Cream Cheese Mixture:
5

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth.

6

Fold in the cooled caramelized mango (excluding the reserved topping) until evenly incorporated

Assemble the French Toast Layers:
7

Spread the mango cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of all four bread slices. 

8

Stack two slices of bread on top of each other, cream cheese side up, and top with the remaining slices, cream cheese side down, to form double-layered sandwiches.

Prepare the Custard:
9

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half (or milk), vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Dip and Fry:
10

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. 

11

Carefully dip each layered sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.

12

Fry each sandwich until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping gently to keep the layers intact.

Top and Serve:
13

Top the stuffed French toast with the reserved caramelized mango.

14

Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
