Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (e.g., brioche or challah)
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness) until smooth.
Step 2
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of fresh blueberries evenly over 4 of the slices, then place the remaining slices on top to make 4 'sandwiches.'
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to make the custard mixture.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 5
Dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated without soaking through.
Step 6
Cook the sandwiches in the skillet, 2 at a time, for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed for the second batch.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Sprinkle with more powdered sugar for garnish, and serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
