Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make Blueberry Stuffed French Toast:

Prepare the Filling:

Mix the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Set aside.

Prepare the French Toast:

Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon.
Assemble the French Toast: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and blueberry mixture on one slice of bread. Top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.
Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.

Cook the French Toast:

Dip and Cook: Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Place the coated sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh blueberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
