Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut brioche bread

1 cup fresh blueberries, divided

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Additional blueberries, and whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the fresh blueberries. Use a hand mixer or a fork to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set the bowl aside to let the flavors meld.

    Stuff the Bread: Take 4 slices of the brioche bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. Place the remaining 4 slices on top to form sandwiches. Gently press down on each sandwich to ensure they stick together well.

      Make the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Continue whisking until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.

        Soak the Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface. Take each stuffed brioche sandwich and dip them into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated but not soaked through. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off before cooking.

          Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked sandwiches onto the preheated skillet. Cook each sandwich for approximately 3-4 minutes on one side, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook in batches.

            Serve: Once the French toast is cooked, transfer the sandwiches to plates. Top each serving with additional fresh blueberries, a light dusting of powdered sugar, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream on top.

              Enjoy your delightful Blueberry Bliss French Toast, a perfect treat for a cozy brunch or a sweet breakfast delight!
