A comforting and indulgent breakfast featuring thick slices of bread stuffed with a creamy blueberry cream cheese filling, soaked in a sweet custard, and cooked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 8 thick slices brioche, challah, or Texas toast bread
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk or 2%
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Butter, unsalted, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, optional for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a few for garnish if desired. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and blueberry mixture onto one slice of bread. Top with another slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
  4. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the custard mixture, soaking about 30 seconds per side, ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid but does not become soggy.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt about 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook the soaked sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, adjusting heat as needed.
  6. Transfer cooked French toast to a plate or cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Garnish with reserved blueberries.

Notes

Use thicker bread like brioche or challah to hold the filling well. Soak bread gently to avoid sogginess. Butter helps achieve a golden crust but monitor heat to prevent burning. For extra creamy filling, add a teaspoon of honey or a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in an oven or toaster oven for best texture.
