## How to Make It:
### 1. **Whip Up the Hazelnut Cream**
In a bowl, combine hazelnut spread, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside (or refrigerate briefly to thicken if needed).
### 2. **Prepare the French Toast Batter**
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
### 3. **Soak the Bread**
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides generously. Let it soak for a few seconds so the inside stays soft.
### 4. **Cook Until Golden**
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each slice for about **2–3 minutes per side**, or until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
### 5. **Assemble and Serve**
Serve warm French toast slices with a generous spoonful of hazelnut cream on top, or spread a layer between two slices like a sandwich. Add fresh berries, powdered sugar, or even a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra treat.
