1. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk until smooth.
2. Add in 1 cup of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing well.
3. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, whisking until combined and slightly frothy.
#### Cooking the French Toast
1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt.
2. Dip a slice of cinnamon swirl bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides without soaking too long.
3. Place the soaked bread slice onto the skillet and repeat with additional slices, avoiding overcrowding.
4. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
5. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the remaining slices.
#### Preparing the Icing
1. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
#### Assembling the Dish
1. Place a slice of warm French toast on a serving plate, stacking multiple slices if desired.
2. Drizzle the cream cheese icing generously over the top. Serve with optional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
