Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Brioche bread
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- for serving Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
Cut the brioche loaf into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange half the slices in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bread slices in the dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer.
Lay the remaining slices of brioche on top to create a sandwich-like layer.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the layered bread slices, ensuring all the bread is soaked.
Cover the dish with foil and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid fully.
Bake covered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the baked French toast from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of fresh blueberries over the top.
Slice into portions and serve warm with maple syrup on the side for drizzling.
