Make a decadent brunch with this recipe for thick-cut French toast stuffed with a sweet cream cheese and blueberry filling. This recipe is simple to follow and yields a delicious, homemade breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche or challah)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. This is your cream cheese filling.
  2. Take four slices of bread. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each of these four slices.
  3. Top the cream cheese layer with about 1/4 cup of blueberries on each slice. Place the remaining four slices of bread on top to create four sandwiches. Gently press the edges to seal.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, and cinnamon until combined. This is your batter.
  5. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the batter, coating both sides quickly. Do not let the bread soak, as it will become soggy.
  6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  7. Cook two stuffed sandwiches at a time for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through. Add more butter as needed between batches.
  8. Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use brioche or challah bread for the best texture; their thickness helps hold the filling.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first; use them straight from the freezer.
  • For an extra gourmet brunch dish, you can make a quick blueberry sauce by simmering 1 cup of blueberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and a splash of water until thickened.
