Ingredients
8 thick slices of brioche, challah, or Texas toast
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
3 large eggs
1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Maple syrup (for serving)
Optional toppings: extra blueberries, whipped cream, powdered sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold in blueberries.
Spread the cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon (if using).
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt some butter.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.
Serve warm with maple syrup, additional blueberries, and desired toppings.
Notes
Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche to prevent sogginess.
Don’t overfill to avoid leakage while cooking.
Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
Keep finished toasts warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
