A delightful twist on the classic French toast, this stuffed panini is perfect for a sweet and satisfying breakfast or brunch.
Mix the softened cream cheese and fruit preserves in a bowl until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of French bread.
Use a knife or spatula to evenly spread the mixture.
Press the slices together to form a sandwich.
Gently press to avoid squeezing out the filling.
Brush the outside of the sandwich with melted butter.
Ensure an even coating for a golden crust.
Grill the sandwich on a preheated grill pan until golden brown on both sides.
Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Use a fine sieve for an even dusting.
