  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  2. Whip until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Compote

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries soften and sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Stuffed French Toast

  1. Lay out the bread slices. Spread a generous amount of cheesecake filling on two slices.
  2. Spoon a few blueberries on top of the filling.
  3. Top with remaining slices of bread, forming sandwiches.

Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Step 5: Cook the French Toast

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil.
  2. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Plate the French toast and spoon blueberry compote on top.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, creamy, fruity indulgence!

Methods & Techniques

  • Softening Cream Cheese: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Custardy Bread: Thick-cut bread like Brioche or Challah absorbs the egg mixture beautifully, giving that soft, custardy texture inside.
  • Compote Control: Cook blueberry compote on medium heat and stir often to prevent burning.

History

French toast, known as “pain perdu” in France (literally “lost bread”), was originally a way to use stale bread. Over centuries, it became a beloved breakfast treat worldwide. Stuffing French toast with sweet fillings like cream cheese or fruits is a modern twist, making it a decadent brunch favorite. Blueberries and cheesecake filling are a natural evolution, inspired by the popularity of New York-style cheesecake.

Formation & Presentation

  • Slice diagonally for a dramatic look.
  • Serve stacked or slightly overlapping to showcase the cheesecake center.
  • Garnish with fresh blueberries for color and freshness.
  • Optional: Add a sprig of mint for a pop of green.

Lovers’ Notes

  • For Sweetheart Brunch: This dish is perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or any romantic breakfast.
  • Flavor Pairings: Creamy cheesecake filling pairs wonderfully with tart blueberries and warm maple syrup.
  • Extra Decadent: Add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel for a true indulgence.
