Spread each slice of the bread with some cream cheese. Top six of the slices with cherry pie filling, spreading almost to the edges. Cover each with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down. Dip into the egg mixture.

In a skillet or on a griddle, cook the sandwiches in hot butter over medium heat for 2 to 3 min. on each side or until golden brown.
