Instructions
Creating your Creamy Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast can be a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the blueberries until well combined.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on one slice. Top with a few blueberries, then place the other slice on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.
3. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
5. Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soggy.
6. Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat: Continue with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve Warm: Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and let it cool slightly before serving.
9. Add Toppings: Top with the remaining blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
By following these steps, you’ll have a plate of delicious Creamy Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast ready to enjoy!
