Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 150g of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in ½ cup of blueberries.
  2. Slice your brioche bread into thick pieces, about 1.5 inches each. Create pockets or use two slices to form a sandwich.
  3. Generously spoon the cheesecake filling into the pocket of each slice or between two slices. Press down gently on the edges to seal.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 egg, ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of cream, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until creamy and smooth.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Dip each stuffed slice into the custard, coating both sides, and fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Remove the cooked French toast and dust with icing sugar. Serve warm with maple syrup and extra blueberries.

Notes

Soften cream cheese beforehand for a lump-free filling. Choose thick brioche slices to prevent sogginess.
