Ingredients
  

For the filling:

  • ½ cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen

For the French Toast:

  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk whole or half-and-half
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp butter for cooking

For Toppings (Optional):

  • Maple syrup
  • Extra blueberries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much. Set aside.
  • Take each slice of brioche or challah and cut a small pocket into the side with a sharp knife, making sure not to cut all the way through.
  • Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the blueberry cream cheese filling into each pocket. Don’t overfill, or it will spill out when cooking.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together: Eggs, Milk, Granulated sugar, Cinnamon, Vanilla extract, and a Pinch of salt
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add butter.
  • Carefully dip each stuffed slice into the custard, letting it soak for about 10 seconds per side.
  • Lift the bread out and let any excess custard drip off.
  • Place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
  • If the bread is browning too quickly before the inside is warm, lower the heat slightly.
  • Transfer the French toast to plates and top with powdered sugar, fresh blueberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream as desired.
  • Serve immediately while warm and enjoy every delicious bite!
