Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah works great)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (any type of milk works)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the pan
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over four slices of the bread.
- Sprinkle blueberries on top of the cream cheese layer, pressing them gently into the mixture.
- Place the remaining four slices of bread on top to create sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated.
- Cook the French toast sandwiches in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
