Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake Filling:
-
150g cream cheese, softened
-
2 Tbsp caster sugar (or granulated sugar)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
For the French Toast:
-
1 loaf day-old brioche (cut into 8 thick slices)
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
2 Tbsp butter (for frying)
For Serving (Optional):
-
Maple syrup
-
Powdered sugar
-
Extra blueberries
-
Whipped cream
Instructions:
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
-
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Gently fold in blueberries. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Stuffed French Toast:
-
Take 2 slices of brioche per serving. Spread a thick layer of the cheesecake mixture on one slice, then sandwich with the other. Repeat for all servings.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
-
Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a shallow dish.
4. Cook the French Toast:
-
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 Tbsp butter.
-
Dip each stuffed brioche sandwich into the egg mixture, letting it soak for 10–15 seconds per side.
-
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter as needed.
5. Serve:
-
Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with extra blueberries and whipped cream if desired.
Tips:
-
Day-old brioche works best—it soaks up the custard without falling apart.
-
Don’t overstuff or the filling may leak.
-
Keep warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) if cooking in batches.
This French toast is crispy outside, creamy inside, and bursting with blueberry flavor—brunch heaven! 🍞🫐😋
