Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling

   • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

   • Gently fold in blueberries.

2. Prepare the Bread

   • Slice each piece of bread down the middle (like a pocket), but don’t cut all the way through.

   • Spoon the cheesecake filling inside each slice and press gently to seal.

3. Make the Batter

   • In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.

4. Dip and Cook

   • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides.

   • Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.

5. Serve Warm

   • Top with extra blueberries, a drizzle of syrup, and whipped cream if desired.

💡 Tips for Success

• Bread matters: Brioche or challah hold up best and soak up the custard beautifully.

• Make it ahead: Prepare the filling the night before for faster mornings.

• No leaks: Seal the edges of the bread with the back of a spoon to keep the filling inside.

🍓 Variations

• Strawberry Cheesecake Version: Replace blueberries with chopped strawberries.

• Lemon Cheesecake Twist: Add 1 tsp lemon zest to the filling for brightness.

• Berry Medley: Use a mix of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries.
