Cheesecake Filling:
- 150 g cream cheese, softened
- 1½ tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of ½ lemon
French Toast Base:
- 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread
- 2 large eggs
- 100 ml whole milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter, for frying
Blueberry Layer:
- 100 g fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Make the Blueberry Mix: In a small saucepan, heat blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until juicy and slightly thickened (5–6 mins). Let cool.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy.
- Stuff the Bread: Cut a pocket into each brioche slice without going all the way through. Spoon cream cheese filling into each, followed by a layer of cooled blueberry mixture.
- Dip in Egg Mixture: Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Dip each stuffed slice and let soak 10–15 seconds per side.
- Cook the French Toast: Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each slice 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Hot: Dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh blueberries, and drizzle with syrup of your choice.
