Ingredients
  

8 slices of thick-cut brioche bread

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the fresh blueberries. Using a fork, gently mash the mixture until well combined, ensuring some whole blueberries remain intact for texture and bursts of flavor.

    Assemble the French Toast: Take two slices of brioche bread and spread a generous layer of the blueberry cream cheese mixture between them, forming a delightful sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining bread slices, resulting in four luscious stuffed sandwiches.

      Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a fragrant base for your French toast.

        Coat the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for approximately 10 seconds on each side, ensuring they are well-coated but not overly soggy. Place the soaked sandwiches into the hot skillet.

          Cook the French Toast: Sauté the stuffed sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden brown color and a crispy exterior. If necessary, add more butter to the skillet to keep the sandwiches from sticking.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and allow them to rest on a paper towel for a moment to absorb any excess butter. Serve the stuffed French toast warm, topped with extra fresh blueberries, a light dusting of powdered sugar, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. For an extra touch of freshness, garnish each plate with fresh mint leaves if desired.
