Gather these simple items for a delicious breakfast.

• Blueberry Sauce
• Filling
• French Toasts

Adapt this recipe to suit your needs and preferences. Using slightly stale bread is key for the best texture.

• Bread: Day-old brioche bread works best because it’s less likely to fall apart. If your bread is fresh, you can toast it lightly in a 300°F oven for about 8 minutes per side to dry it out. Other thick-cut challah or white bread can work as substitutes.
• Left Field Farms Vanilla Creamer: You can substitute this with half-and-half or milk with an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract. For a lighter version, use a low-fat creamer or milk.
• Cream Cheese: Ensure it’s fully softened for a smooth, lump-free filling. You can use a light cream cheese to reduce fat content, but it might be slightly less rich.
• Blueberries: Fresh blueberries offer the best flavor, but frozen ones work well too. If using frozen, you don’t need to thaw them before cooking the sauce.
• Sweetener: Adjust sugar in the blueberry sauce to your preference. You can also use honey or maple syrup, though it may alter the flavor slightly.

1. Make the Blueberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 pint blueberries, 1/4 cup water, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir everything together.
2. Cook the Sauce: Heat the mixture over medium-high heat. Cook until the blueberries pop and the mixture starts to boil.
3. Simmer the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup of Left Field Farms Vanilla Creamer. Mix until smooth.
5. Add Blueberry Flavor: Add 1/4 cup of the prepared blueberry sauce to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to combine.
6. Stuff the Bread: Cut a slit in the top of each slice of brioche bread, creating a pocket. Carefully stuff each pocket with two heaping tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. If using store-bought pre-sliced bread, use two slices. Spread the filling on one slice, leaving a gap around all edges, like a sandwich.
7. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet on medium-low heat. This low temperature is crucial for cooking the inside without burning the outside.
8. Make the Custard Dip: In another shallow bowl, beat 4 large eggs with the remaining 1 cup of Left Field Farms Vanilla Creamer until well combined.
9. Dip the French Toast: Dip both sides of each stuffed french toast slice into the egg mixture. Shake off any excess liquid.
10. Cook the French Toast: Carefully place the dipped french toast into the preheated skillet. Cook each side until golden brown. Watch the edges of the toast to help judge doneness; they should look dry and golden.
11. Serve: Serve warm. Top each piece of Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with a generous spoonful of the remaining blueberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

• Using fresh bread: Fresh bread is too soft and will fall apart when you cut pockets and dip it. Use day-old bread or toast fresh slices to dry them out before starting.
• Cooking on high heat: High heat will cause the outside of the french toast to burn before the cream cheese filling inside is warm. Cook on medium-low heat to ensure even cooking.
• Over-soaking the bread: Dip the bread just long enough to coat. Over-soaking can make it too soggy and prone to breaking apart.

• Mixed Berry Sauce: Add other berries like raspberries or strawberries to the blueberry sauce for a more complex flavor.
• Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the finished French toast for an extra decadent treat.
• Nutty Crunch: Mix finely chopped pecans or walnuts into the cream cheese filling for added texture.
• Lemon Zest: Add the zest of half a lemon to the cream cheese filling to brighten the flavor.

• Enjoy this Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with a side of crispy turkey bacon or chicken sausage for a complete breakfast.
• Serve with fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast to the rich French toast.
• A dusting of powdered sugar and a side of pure maple syrup make for classic accompaniments.
• Pair with coffee, tea, or a fresh juice.

Can I make this ahead?

You can prepare the blueberry sauce and cream cheese filling a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Stuffing the bread is best done right before cooking to prevent the bread from becoming too soggy.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispness.

This Blueberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast is a wonderfully indulgent way to start your day. The combination of sweet, tart blueberries and creamy, tangy cream cheese encased in golden-brown brioche creates a breakfast experience that is sure to impress. Enjoy every delicious bite!

Ingredients

Blueberries (1 pint), Water (1/4 cup), Vanilla Extract (1 1/2 tsp), Granulated Sugar (1/4 cup), Cream Cheese (8 oz, softened, block style), Left Field Farms Vanilla Creamer (1 1/4 cup total), Brioche Bread (8-10 slices), Eggs (4 large), Whipped Cream (for topping, optional), Powdered Sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

In a small saucepan, add blueberries, water, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in the cooled blueberry mixture to create the filling.
Whisk the eggs with 1 cup of the vanilla creamer in a shallow dish.
Take 2 brioche bread slices and place them side by side. Spread half of the blueberry cream cheese mixture evenly between them, leaving a small border. Carefully bring the corners together to form a pouch; press gently to seal.
Dip each pouch into the egg and creamer mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the stuffed bread and cook on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining bread to make additional stuffed French toast.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Use slightly stale brioche for best results to prevent sogginess. If the blueberry mixture is too runny, chill it for 10 minutes before use to make the stuffing easier. For a lighter version, substitute milk mixed with an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract for the creamer.
Other types of thick-cut bread like challah or white bread may be used if brioche is unavailable.
