Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 150g of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in ½ cup of blueberries.
  2. Slice the brioche loaf into thick pieces, around 1.5 inches each, and create a pocket in the center of each slice.
  3. Generously fill each pocket in the brioche slices with the cheesecake mixture and press the edges to seal.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 egg, ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of cream, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until fully combined.
  5. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each stuffed slice into the custard, soaking briefly, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Remove from skillet and serve warm, topped with icing sugar, maple syrup, and extra blueberries.

Notes

Allow cream cheese to soften for easy mixing. Use day-old bread to prevent sogginess, and avoid over-soaking the bread.
