Cinnamon– would it be French toast without cinnamon? 
Vanilla- vanilla extract to add flavor to the batter.

Tips for making the best Stuffed French Toast

• The key to the perfect French toast is cooking it LOW & SLOW in butter and olive oil. It takes a little longer, but I promise it’s worth it! 
• Make sure the cream cheese is softened. It makes things easier.
• use fluffy bread! If you can’t get your hands on brioche bread, a thick slice of bread like Texas toast is also recommended.
• Coffee creamer. Using coffee creamer adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the egg batter.
