How To Make It
- Blend the egg mixture: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the egg, almond milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend or whisk until smooth, then pour into a shallow dish.
- Make the cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Make the cinnamon butter: In a separate bowl, stir together the softened butter, coconut sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the cinnamon butter on two slices of bread. Spread the cream cheese filling on the other two slices. Sandwich them together.
- Soak the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully soaked.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a greased griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve and enjoy: Plate your stuffed French toast, drizzle with maple syrup, and enjoy.

FAQ’s
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Swap the Greek yogurt and cream cheese for dairy-free alternatives. Kite Hill or Forager are great options.
Can I meal prep this?
Absolutely. Prep the French toast, let it cool, then store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
Can I use other bread?
You can—but the nutrition will change. I highly recommend Eat Royo for the best macros and texture.
