Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 1 cup(s) cream cheese, softened slightly at room temperature
  • 1 cup(s) fresh blackberries, Plus more as needed for garnish. Sweet Karoline variety works best if in season.
  • 1/3 cup(s) powdered sugar, plus more if needed for garnishing if desired
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 16 oz bakery challah bread loaf, ends cut off and reserved for another use, use even center cuts

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup(s) refined coconut oil, or any neutral flavored oil, plus more as needed for searing additional toasts
  • 1/2 cup(s) maple syrup, or as needed

Instructions

  1. In a bowl add cream cheese, blackberries, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste and salt. Mix well to combine then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  3. To stuff French toast, cut challah bread into 6 even 1/2 inch slices. Gently press the center of 3 slices of challah to make a small well for cream cheese filling.
  4. Stuff each center of bread with approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of cream cheese filling. Gently press another slice on top of filled slice to seal like a sandwich.
  5. In a shallow dish combine creamer with eggs and whisk to combine. Dip each sandwich in the custard for approximately 10 to 12 seconds to completely soak. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow custard to soak in.
  6. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat, add coconut oil and allow to get hot. Sauté French toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until just caramelized and browned on each side.
  7. Repeat process with each additional French toast. Once all toasts are seared place onto a sheet pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes to just finish setting custard.
  8. Garnish French toast with maple syrup, more blackberries and whipped cream if desired.
