Ingredients:

– 8 slices of thick brioche or Texas toast
– 4 Oreos
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Butter (for greasing the griddle)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting)
– Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Take 4 slices of brioche or Texas toast and place an Oreo cookie on each slice. Top it with the remaining 4 slices to create 4 Oreo-filled sandwiches.
3. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
4. Dip each Oreo-filled sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides generously. Allow the excess to drain off.
5. Grease the preheated griddle or skillet with butter. Carefully place the dipped sandwiches onto the griddle and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
6. Once cooked, remove the Oreo-Stuffed French Toast from the griddle and place onto serving plates.
7. Sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over the warm French toast, adding a touch of sweetness.
8. Finally, top each piece with a dollop of whipped cream, elevating this French toast to the next level of indulgence.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the heavenly combination of warm, crispy toast, melting Oreo, and airy whipped cream.

Tips and Variations:

– For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of your favorite extract (such as almond or coconut) to the egg mixture.
– Experiment with different types of Oreos, such as flavors like mint or peanut butter, to create unique twists on this recipe.
– For a fun brunch gathering or special occasion, consider serving Oreo-Stuffed French Toast with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce.
– If you don’t have access to brioche or Texas toast, regular thick-sliced bread will work just as well.

So there you have it – a delightful recipe that pays homage to my fond memories and highlights the joy of indulging in a childhood treat. Take the time to savor each delectable bite of this Oreo-Stuffed French Toast, and let the flavors transport you back to simpler times. Enjoy!
