Ingredients

  • 8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Juice of 1 orange

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in the fresh blueberries and set aside.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Take one slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and blueberry mixture on it. Top it with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
  4. Dip the prepared sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure it is coated on both sides.
  5. In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the dipped sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, orange zest, and orange juice. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Serve the French toast sandwiches warm, drizzled with the orange-infused maple syrup. Garnish with additional blueberries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
  8. Enjoy!
