Ingredients
Scale
8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar
Butter or oil for cooking
Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth.
Take four slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the blueberry cream cheese mixture on each. Top with the remaining four slices to create sandwiches.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides well.
Place the coated sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.
Notes
For added flavor, try mixing in a teaspoon of lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture.
Substitute the blueberries with other berries like strawberries or raspberries for a different twist.
