Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mash together the cream cheese, jam, and a tiny pinch of salt until just combined (streaks of jam are fine).
2. Spread on 3 slices of bread, and top those with the remaining 3 slices, pressing gently to form sandwiches.
3. Grab 2 shallow dishes, such as pie plates. In the first dish, beat the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla until uniform. In the second dish, place the cornflakes.
4. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter and heat until it stops foaming. Dip both sides of 3 sandwiches in the batter to coat thoroughly, then dip in cornflakes, patting them over the entire surface to form an even coating.
5. Place them in the skillet, and cook until deep golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes on the first side and 3 ½ minutes on the second side, serve at once, garnishing as desired.  (We served these with maple syrup and bananas but they would be great with fresh whipped cream and/or powdered sugar.
