Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick bread (like brioche or challah)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Additional blueberries and powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread and top with another slice, creating a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter. Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- To ensure the cream cheese mixture is well incorporated, let it sit at room temperature before mixing.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve even browning.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to the filling.
- Experiment with other fruits like raspberries or strawberries for a different twist.
