Stuffed French Toast

Stuffed Blueberry French Toast
Makes 6-7 Slices

1 Loaf Brioche Bread

8 Oz Cream Cheese
1 Pint Fresh Blueberries
4 Eggs
2 T Milk
1 t Vanilla
½ T Butter
Maple Syrup
 
Trim the ends off of the bread. At about ¾ centimeter, slice a slit, almost all of the way down. Then at about ¾ centimeter from that slit, slice the bread all the way through.  Repeat for the remaining bread.

Slice 2 thin pieces of cream cheese and evenly put it inside the slit.  Then add about 10-15 blueberries.  Lightly press it together and repeat for the remaining bread.

In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla.

Heat a sauté pan on high with the butter.  Dip each piece of bread in the egg mix and pan sauté the French toast.

To plate, leave them whole or cut them in half.  Drizzle with maple syrup and remaining blueberries.

*if you can’t find brioche, challah bread works well also. It’s typically not as wide though so it may not have as much filling.  A soft plain white bread will work as well.

Banana Stuffed French Toast

Same as the recipe above but use 4 bananas instead of the blueberries.  Also, shake a little cinnamon on top when you plate it.
