Ingredients

For the Stuffing:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

For the French Toast:

8 slices of thick brioche or challah bread

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp butter (for cooking)

For the Topping:

Extra mixed berries

Maple syrup

Whipped cream (optional)

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Stuffing:

- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

- Gently fold in the mixed berries until evenly distributed. Set aside.

Prepare the French Toast Mixture:

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Assemble the French Toast:

- Lay out 4 slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and berry mixture onto each slice. Place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.

Coat the Sandwiches:

- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are well coated.

Cook the French Toast:

- In a large skillet or griddle, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add two sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the center is heated through.

- Remove and repeat the process with the remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.

Serve:

- Cut the stuffed French toast in half diagonally and display on plates. Top with the extra mixed berries and drizzle with maple syrup. Add whipped cream and mint leaves as garnishes if desired.

Enjoy!

- Serve warm and enjoy your Dreamy Berry Bliss Stuffed French Toast!
