Ingredients

CREAM CHEESE FILLING:

1 block (8 ounce) block cream cheese softened
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ cup blueberry preserves
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

FRENCH TOAST BASE:

4 eggs
1 cup milk any kind
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
8 slices thick bread such as Texas toast
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer with fitted paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and blueberry preserves. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla. Set aside.
In a large griddle or skillet, heat butter until melted.
Take one slice of bread and dip into egg mixture, making sure to coat the entire slice. Remove bread from bowl and place onto buttered griddle.
Cook bread for 3-4 minutes per side, or until bread is golden and crisp. Remove to another plate. Repeat with remaining slices of bread.
Once French toast is cooked, spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of French toast. Take remaining four slices of bread and lay on top of cream cheese French toast. Cut diagonally and serve with syrup and blueberries, if desired.
