Blueberry Stuffed French Toast

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, divided
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry preserves
  • 16 slices French bread (1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Sauce:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Beat the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons syrup, and preserves in a small bowl. Spread over 8 slices of bread; top with remaining bread. Whisk the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, salt, and remaining syrup in a shallow bowl. Dip both sides of sandwiches into egg mixture. Cook on a greased hot griddle until golden brown on both sides.

For sauce, combine the sugar, water, and cornstarch until smooth in a small saucepan over low heat. Add blueberries and butter, and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.

Serve stuffed French toast with sauce.
