A luxurious breakfast featuring golden brioche stuffed with a creamy blueberry cheesecake filling, drizzled with maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150g (5.3 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or thawed if frozen)
  • 1 loaf day-old brioche, sliced thick (8 slices)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Butter, for frying
  • Extra blueberries, for garnish
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth, then gently fold in the blueberries until well-distributed.
  2. Slice the Brioche: Carefully slice the brioche into thick 1.5-inch slices.
  3. Create the Pockets: Using a sharp knife, create a deep pocket in each slice or sandwich two slices together.
  4. Fill Each Slice: Generously fill each brioche slice with the blueberry cheesecake mixture and press the edges gently to seal if using two slices.
  5. Make the Custard Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, cream, and cinnamon until fully combined and frothy.
  6. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add a small knob of butter.
  7. Dip and Cook: Take each stuffed slice of brioche, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Place the slices in the skillet, cooking for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Once golden and fragrant, transfer the French toast to a plate. Dust with icing sugar, garnish with extra blueberries, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the cream cheese filling a day in advance. Cooking alternatives: Use an air fryer for a healthier twist at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes.
