Make decadent, cream cheese and blueberry stuffed French toast pan-fried until golden brown. This recipe is perfect for an indulgent weekend breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 thick slices brioche bread
  • 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 blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. This is your filling.
  2. Take one slice of bread and spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side. Top with a second slice of bread, forming a sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining bread slices.
  3. Gently press the edges of each sandwich together to seal the filling inside.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, and cinnamon until combined.
  5. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides briefly. Do not soak the bread.
  6. Place a large skillet 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. While the toast cooks, gently fold the fresh blueberries into the remaining cream cheese mixture, or sprinkle them directly onto the cooking toast if you prefer them less mixed. (For this recipe, we will sprinkle them on top while cooking).
  9. Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally.
  10. Serve immediately dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for the best texture.
  • You can prepare the sandwiches ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute milk with half-and-half in the egg mixture.
