Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut brioche bread

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter (for frying)

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the fresh blueberries. Use a fork or spatula to blend the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

    Take two slices of the brioche bread and generously spread the cream cheese mixture between them, creating a delightful sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining slices of bread to form a total of four stuffed sandwiches.

      In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until everything is fully combined and the mixture is frothy.

        Carefully dip each stuffed brioche sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure that both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off before placing them in the skillet.

          In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Wait until the butter is fully melted and bubbling before proceeding.

            Gently place the stuffed sandwiches in the skillet. Cook them for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden-brown color. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding.

              Once they are cooked to perfection, carefully transfer the French toast to a serving platter and lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

                Garnish with additional blueberries for a pop of color and serve warm, drizzled generously with maple syrup for a sweet touch.

                    Presentation Tips: Serve each slice of French toast stacked slightly askew on the plate with extra blueberries scattered around. A light drizzle of maple syrup across the top adds an inviting shine.
