Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast is a delicious, flavor-filled, decadent breakfast treat you will really enjoy!
In medium sized bowl, combine cream cheese filling ingredients. Use a mixer to blend until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium sized saucepan, place blueberries, cornstarch and granulated sugar. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries "pop" (burst), and mixture has thickened. (approx. 5-6 minutes). Set aside; stir occasionally to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.
To prepare, divide the cream cheese mixture evenly and spread on two pieces of french bread. Evenly top with some of the blueberry mixture (DO NOT USE ALL OF IT-SAVE SOME BLUEBERRY MIXTURE SEPARATELY TO SPOON OVER TOP OF FINISHED DISH). Try hard to not place the blueberries all the way to the edge of the bread, or the sauce will run out while cooking. Place a piece of french bread on top of blueberries.
Heat a large non-stick skillet (or grill pan) on medium heat. Melt butter in skillet. Place each "sandwich" into egg mixture, one at a time, to soak up the egg mixture. Turn, to coat each side in the egg mixture. Shake off excess, then place french toast onto hot skillet. Repeat with other serving. Cook until bottom side is browned nicely, then very carefully turn french toast to other side and continue to cook until both sides are crispy and browned. This will take a few minutes.
Once cooked/browned, transfer french toast to serving plate. Spoon some of the reserved blueberry sauce over the top of the dish, then add a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Serve and enjoy, THEN go for a long walk to work it off! (ha ha)
NOTE: Caloric calculation does not include whipped cream topping (as it is optional).
TIP: If you wish to have less calories, cut the french toast in half after removing it from skillet, THEN cover the top with the blueberry filling, etc. Still all the taste, but half the calories!
