Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-sliced brioche bread
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 4 units large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 0.5 cup maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tbsp extra powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto four slices of the brioche bread.
Top the cream cheese layer with sliced strawberries and blueberries, dividing them evenly among the slices.
Place the remaining slices of brioche bread on top to form four stuffed sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl or pie pan, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip one stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated.
Place the sandwich onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to serving plates.
Dust the French toast with extra powdered sugar and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
