Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (plus more for serving)
- 1 teaspoon Butter, for greasing
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish with butter.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese on one side of each bread slice.
On two of the cream cheese-covered slices, evenly sprinkle the fresh blueberries. Press another slice of bread (cream cheese side down) on top to form two stuffed sandwiches.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Place the stuffed sandwiches into the prepared baking dish and pour the egg mixture over them. Press the sandwiches down slightly to ensure they absorb the liquid.
Allow the mixture to soak for 5 minutes so the bread fully absorbs the custard.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and puffed up.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, and drizzle with additional maple syrup.
