Stuffed French Toast Recipe
Description
This stuffed version of French toast begins by softening cream cheese and blending it with sugar, vanilla extract, and fresh blueberries to create a rich, fruity filling. Thick bread slices hold the filling when sandwiched and are dipped thoroughly in an egg, milk, and cinnamon mixture. Cooking over low heat in butter ensures the bread develops a browned exterior without burning while the filling warms through.
The finished stuffed French toast is tender inside with a creamy, sweet filling and a crisp outer texture. Serving it with additional fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar enhances both appearance and flavor. The recipe relies on quality bread that can hold the filling without becoming soggy.
Ingredients
- 10 bread brioche, challah or french bread, slices
- 1 cup milk
- 5 egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup blueberries fresh
- 1 tbsp butter for frying, unsalted
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients. Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk eggs with milk, cinnamon and half of the vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, whip cream cheese together with sugar and the remaining vanilla extract. Add fresh blueberries into the cream mixture and stir to combine.
- Scoop up a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and spread it onto one of the bread slices. Sandwich another slice of bread on top. Carefully dip both sides of toast into the egg mixture.
- On low heat, preheat a skillet with a tablespoon of butter. Place the assembled Stuffed French Toast and fry until golden brown, then flip over and repeat.
- Serve your Stuffed French Toast with some fresh berries and powdered sugar. Enjoy!
