Ingredients You Need
For the Cheesecake Filling

- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh or cooked blueberries
The filling should be smooth, slightly sweet, and creamy. You can lightly mash some blueberries for a stronger flavour.
For the French Toast
- 6 thick slices of brioche or challah bread
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Thick bread works best because it holds the filling without falling apart.
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp butter for frying
Butter gives the toast a golden crust and rich flavour.
Optional Toppings
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh blueberries
- Whipped cream
- Lemon zest
These toppings enhance both presentation and taste.
Step-by-Step Preparation
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no lumps.
Gently fold in the blueberries. If you prefer a stronger flavour, lightly mash some of them before mixing.
Set the filling aside while preparing the bread.
Assemble the Stuffed Bread
Take two slices of bread and spread a generous layer of cheesecake filling on one slice. Place another slice on top to create a sandwich.
Press lightly to seal the edges. Repeat this process for all slices.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
This mixture will give the French toast its golden colour and soft texture.
Dip the Bread
Carefully dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture. Make sure both sides are coated, but avoid soaking too long to prevent sogginess. Cook the French Toast
Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the stuffed bread in the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Cook slowly so the filling warms through without burning the outside.
Rest Before Serving
Let the French toast rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling settle slightly and makes it easier to serve.
