Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Once the sauce thickens slightly, remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 tsp of cinnamon until well combined. This will be the egg mixture for soaking the bread.
- Next, take the 4 slices of bread and spread 1/4 cup of cream cheese evenly on two of the slices. Place the other two slices on top to create two sandwiches.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Once the butter is melted, dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before placing the sandwiches in the skillet.
- Cook the stuffed French toast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to add more butter to the skillet as you cook the remaining sandwiches.
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally for serving.
- To serve, drizzle the warm blueberry sauce over the stuffed French toast halves. Optionally, you can garnish with additional fresh blueberries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Enjoy your delicious Stuffed French Toast with Blueberry Sauce!
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture, opt for thicker slices of bread like brioche or challah, which soak up the egg mixture beautifully without falling apart.
- Perfectly Cooked Blueberries: When making the blueberry sauce, keep an eye on the heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens, but avoid overcooking to maintain some of the fruit's shape.
- Egg Mixture Soak Time: Allow the bread to soak in the egg mixture for a few seconds on each side. This ensures that every bite is rich and custardy, but don’t let it soak too long to prevent sogginess.
- Keep It Warm: If you're making multiple servings, keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Fresh whipped cream, a sprinkle of nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup can add an extra layer of indulgence.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the blueberry sauce in advance and store it in the fridge. Just reheat it gently before serving to save time in the morning.
- Garnish for Presentation: A few extra fresh blueberries and a light dusting of powdered sugar can make your dish look restaurant-worthy and add a touch of elegance.Enjoy your culinary adventure with this delightful recipe!
