Description

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

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  2. 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.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Dip the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
  5. 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.
