Blueberry Cheesecake French Toast
This breakfast is so good! Seriously, it is the best of all possible worlds. Bread, cream cheese, sweet blueberry…it’s awesome. This french toast reminds me of the blueberry cheesecake bread I used to make at the bakery, sort of the same idea, dough wrapped around a mixture of cream cheese and berries with some brown sugar. Next time I may whip up the cream cheese and sweeten it with some sugar but this wasn’t a bad start at all!
I didn’t use a recipe, I used more of a technique. I smeared some cream cheese on some slices of french bread, sandwiched two together and dunked it into a mixture of about 3 eggs, a splash of cream, about a tablespoon of sugar and a sprinkling of cinnamon. I cooked these on a medium high griddle until golden then flipped. In a small saucepan, I added half a bag of frozen blueberries, about 1/2 water, a couple tablespoons o sugar and some vanilla. Brought it up to a boil and allowed to thicken a bit. I let mine cook too long and didn’t have a ton of syrup so if it looks too thick add some more water. Drizzle the blueberry sauce over hot french toast. YUM!
Next I will try this with nutella and a bananas foster sauce

[…] I’ve been following a self-modified version of the Abs Diet from MensHealth and its been going great (down 4 pants sizes!) and when I saw their Cinnamon Stuffed French Toast I thought it would be perfect for my pre-football game Saturday morning breakfast. Boy was I wrong! I really think the problem was the stuffing, the texture of the ricotta just didn’t work for french toast and it definitely wasn’t sweet enough. I think next time, I’ll try a low fat cream cheese based filling like this. […]
