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.
