Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 8 thick slices brioche bread or challah bread
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for custard)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the cheesecake filling.
- Spread the filling evenly onto four slices of bread and top with the remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.
- Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly without oversoaking.

- Transfer to serving plates and dust with powdered sugar.
- Top with extra blueberries and drizzle with maple syrup before serving warm.
Notes
- Brioche or challah bread works best because it is soft and sturdy.
- Use slightly stale bread to prevent sogginess.
- Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained first.
- Lemon zest adds a fresh citrus flavor to the cheesecake filling.
- Croissants can replace bread for an extra buttery texture.
- Whipped cream or vanilla glaze makes this recipe even more indulgent.
- Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispness.
