Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to smash the berries.
Take one slice of bread and scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the blueberry filling onto the center. Place a second slice of bread on top and gently press the edges to seal the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and filling to create 4 sandwiches.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until fully combined. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish that can fit the sandwiches (e.g., a large baking dish).
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated. Let any excess drip off before placing the sandwich onto the hot skillet.
Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the blueberry stuffed French toast with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy this indulgent treat while warm!
