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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese on one side of each bread slice.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until fully combined.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to soak for 5 minutes so the bread fully absorbs the custard.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and puffed up.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, and drizzle with additional maple syrup.
