🛒 Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the French Toast:
8 slices thick bread (brioche or challah works best)
3 large eggs
¾ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp sugar
Butter for cooking
Optional Toppings:
Maple syrup
Powdered sugar
Extra blueberries

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold in blueberries.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread a generous layer of cheesecake filling onto one slice of bread.
Top with another slice to create a sandwich.
Repeat with remaining slices.
3️⃣ Make the Custard
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon.
4️⃣ Dip and Cook
Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides (don’t soak too long).
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
🍯 Serve It Right
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with warm maple syrup. Add extra blueberries and whipped cream for a café-style finish.
💡 Pro Tips
Use slightly stale bread to prevent sogginess.
If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw fully to avoid excess moisture.
Cook on medium heat to ensure the inside warms without burning the outside.
For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream to the custard.
🥶 Make Ahead Option
Assemble sandwiches the night before and refrigerate (uncooked). Dip and cook fresh in the morning for best texture.
🧊 Storage
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispness.
