Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 6 thick slices of brioche or challah bread

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Custard Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Cooking & Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup or honey, for drizzling
  • Extra fresh blueberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, soften the cream cheese then mix with sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a luscious cheesecake filling.
  2. Slice and Stuff the Bread: Cut thick slices of brioche or challah bread without slicing all the way through to create pockets. Spoon the cheesecake filling inside each slice, then gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to overstuff.
  3. Make the Custard Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. This custard will soak into the bread for a tender texture.
  4. Soak the Stuffed Bread: Dip each stuffed bread slice into the custard mixture, soaking for about 30 seconds per side. Ensure the bread is coated well but not overly soggy to prevent falling apart.
  5. Cook to Golden Perfection: Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the soaked French toast slices in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown, crisp on the outside, and creamy warm inside.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the cooked French toast to plates. Dust with powdered sugar, top with extra fresh blueberries, and drizzle maple syrup or honey for a perfect finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread to soak the custard without falling apart for the best texture.
  • Don’t overfill the bread with cheesecake or blueberries to avoid filling leakage during cooking.
  • Cook over medium heat to ensure the inside cooks fully without burning the crust.
  • Preheat your pan to achieve a crisp, golden exterior.
  • Use fresh blueberries over frozen to maintain texture and avoid excess moisture in the filling.
