Description
Delicious cream cheese stuffed French toast served with a homemade blackberry sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of thick bread (such as challah or brioche)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread, then top with the remaining 4 slices to create sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Cook the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- For the blackberry sauce, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the stuffed French toast warm, drizzled with the blackberry sauce.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture.
- Try using different berries like strawberries or raspberries for the sauce, or serve with maple syrup instead.
