Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 thick slices brioche or challah bread
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or cream
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Unsalted butter for frying
  • Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Extra fresh blueberries or sliced strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese filling by beating 8 oz softened cream cheese with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Cut each slice of bread horizontally about 3/4 through to create a pocket. Spread about 2 tbsp of cream cheese filling inside each pocket and add a generous tablespoon of fresh blueberries. Press the bread closed gently.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup whole milk or cream, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until combined.
  4. Dip each stuffed bread slice into the egg mixture, soaking for about 2-3 minutes per side. Avoid over-soaking to prevent sogginess.
  5. Heat 1-2 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp, and the filling is warmed through. Cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and garnished with extra fresh berries if desired.

Notes

Use day-old brioche or challah bread for best soaking results. Avoid over-soaking the bread to prevent it from falling apart. Chill stuffed bread slices for 10 minutes before soaking if cream cheese oozes too quickly. Medium heat cooking prevents burning and ensures even browning. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen unbaked for up to a month.
