Sweet, salty, gooey, and crispy – the ultimate breakfast indulgence with a boozy maple twist! 😍🥄
**Ingredients:**
* 8 slices thick brioche or Texas toast
* 8 slices cooked bacon
* 4 oz cream cheese, softened
* 2 tbsp powdered sugar
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 4 large eggs
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 tbsp bourbon (optional but awesome)
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* Pinch of salt
* Butter for frying
* Maple syrup (bourbon-infused or regular) for drizzling
**Instructions:**
1. **Make Filling:**
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
2. **Assemble Toasts:**
Spread the cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread. Add 2 slices of bacon on top, then cover with the other slices to make sandwiches.
3. **Make the Batter:**
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, bourbon (if using), cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
4. **Dip & Fry:**
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
5. **Serve:**
Slice diagonally, drizzle with warm maple syrup, and top with a sprinkle of flaky salt or extra bacon if you’re feeling bold.
**Pro Tip:**
Swap in flavored cream cheese (like maple or cinnamon) for extra depth, or toss in a few candied pecans for crunch!
