Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices brioche or challah bread (thick-cut preferred)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (any variety)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- Butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and luscious.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling between two slices of your chosen bread, creating a delightful sandwich.
- Whisk Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended and frothy.
- Coat Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, generously press both sides into the shredded coconut, ensuring a delightful crust.
- Cook: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy—watch that beautiful crust develop!

Notes
Consider making the cream cheese filling a day in advance to reduce morning prep time.
