Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts from each slice of thick-cut white bread. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a deep pocket into the center of each slice, leaving approximately 1/2 inch intact around the edges and at the bottom. Do not cut all the way through the bread.

Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a wide tip, or a sturdy Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off.

Toast the bread: Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place 2 slices of the prepared bread in the pan. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove the toasted bread from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and toast the remaining 2 slices of bread.

Fill the toast: While the toasted bread is still warm, carefully pipe the cream cheese filling generously into the pocket of each toasted bread slice.

Serve: Place the filled toasts on individual serving plates. If desired, cut each toast in half diagonally to reveal the creamy interior. Drizzle generously with honey before serving immediately.
