Scale
- 8 slices brioche bread
- 3 large eggs

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to beat until creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a layer of cream cheese filling on one slice of brioche and top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.
