Ingredients
- 100 g cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 4 thick slices brioche or sandwich bread
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, mix together:
- Softened cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
Stir until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the blueberries, or leave them separate if you prefer layering them whole.
2️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one slice of bread.
Add extra blueberries if desired.
Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
Repeat with remaining slices.
3️⃣ Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Cinnamon (optional)
Mix until smooth.
4️⃣ Dip the Sandwiches
Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture.
Let it soak for a few seconds on each side, but don’t oversoak — brioche absorbs quickly.
5️⃣ Cook to Golden Perfection
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Place stuffed sandwiches in the pan.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce heat slightly if browning too fast.
6️⃣ Serve
Dust with powdered sugar.
Top with:
- Extra fresh blueberries
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Honey drizzle
Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
