Ingredients

• 8 slices thick-sliced brioche bread
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 4 units large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp butter
• 0.5 cup maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tbsp extra powdered sugar for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.

Step 2

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto four slices of the brioche bread.

Step 3

Top the cream cheese layer with sliced strawberries and blueberries, dividing them evenly among the slices.

Step 4

Place the remaining slices of brioche bread on top to form four stuffed sandwiches.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl or pie pan, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until combined.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 7

Dip one stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated.

Step 8

Place the sandwich onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the French toast to serving plates.

Step 10

Dust the French toast with extra powdered sugar and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
