Steps
Place the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Combine them thoroughly until they form a smooth, spreadable paste.
Spread the butter-and-brown-sugar paste evenly over one side of each slice of thick white bread, covering the bread close to the edges.
Put the two slices together with the cinnamon-sugar filling sandwiched between them. Press gently so the sandwich holds together.
Crack the egg into a shallow dish and add the milk. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and no streaks of egg white remain.
Dip the assembled bread sandwich into the egg-and-milk mixture, turning it as needed so both sides and the edges are coated without allowing the bread to become overly saturated.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. When hot, place the coated sandwich in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until the underside is golden brown.
Turn the sandwich carefully and fry the second side for about 2 minutes, until golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle or spoon cream cheese glaze over the top, and serve warm.
Notes
The source does not provide a cream cheese glaze recipe or quantity; use a prepared glaze or your preferred cream cheese glaze. Monitor the pan closely because the brown sugar filling can caramelize quickly.
