STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

6 oz cream cheese softened (I use 8oz)
3 TBS sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
8 slices sandwich bread
1 egg
1 cup cold water
½ cup flour
1 tsp vanilla
4 TBS butter
Maple Syrup for serving

1. Combine cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Spread on 4 bread slices. Top with remaining bread slices, pressing down gently forming 4 sandwiches.
2. Combine egg, water, flour, and vanilla in shallow pie plate. Melt 2 TBS butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip both sides of 2 sandwiches in batter and place in skillet. Cook until deep golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
