Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche or challah)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for griddling
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. This is your custard base.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. This is your cheesecake filling.
  3. Take four slices of bread. Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling onto one side of each slice. Top each with a second slice of bread to form four sandwiches.
  4. Dip each sandwich quickly into the custard mixture, coating both sides lightly. Do not soak the bread too long, or it will become soggy.
  5. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt half of the butter or oil.
  6. Place the French toast sandwiches on the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the filling is warm. You may need to cook in batches.
  7. While cooking, gently press the tops of the French toast with a spatula. Sprinkle fresh blueberries over the cooking surface around the toast, allowing them to warm slightly.
  8. Remove the cooked toast. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with extra blueberries and warm maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use a thick bread to support the creamy filling.
  • Work quickly when dipping the bread into the custard.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon zest to your preference for tanginess.
