Ingredients
Scale
- For the Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored coffee creamer
- 1/4 cup of the prepared blueberry sauce
- For the French Toast:
- 8–10 thick slices of day-old brioche bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup vanilla-flavored coffee creamer
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine blueberries, water, vanilla extract, and sugar. Stir and cook until blueberries burst and mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese and 1/4 cup vanilla creamer until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup of the blueberry sauce.
- Assemble the French Toast: Cut a slit in each slice of brioche to create a pocket and fill with 2 heaping tbsp of the cream cheese filling. Alternatively, sandwich filling between two slices.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and 1 cup vanilla creamer.
- Cook the French Toast: Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat. Dip each filled slice in the egg mixture and cook on the skillet until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Top with remaining blueberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use stale or day-old brioche for easier stuffing and better texture.
- Swap vanilla-flavored coffee creamer for milk and a touch of vanilla extract if preferred.
- Serve with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.
