Description
Blueberry Stuffed French Toast is a rich and indulgent breakfast dish made with thick slices of bread filled with a creamy blueberry and cream cheese mixture, then dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg batter and cooked until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup and whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Blend until smooth and fold in blueberries carefully. Set aside.
- Slice each bread piece halfway to create a pocket. Fill generously with the blueberry cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture briefly, coating both sides.
- Cook each slice for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, and extra blueberries on top.
Notes
- Do not over-soak bread to avoid soggy toast.
- Use frozen blueberries without thawing to prevent runny filling.
- You can prepare the cream cheese filling in advance and store in the fridge.
- Add lemon zest or vanilla bean paste for flavor enhancement.
- Stuffed toast can be frozen for up to 3 months and reheated in the oven for best texture.
