Ingredients

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese 8 ounces / 225 g, softened
  • 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 medium lemon

French Toast Bake

  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups whole milk 500 ml / 16.9 ounces
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar 100 g / 0.22 lbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅛ cup honey 30 ml / 1 ounce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 loaf brioche bread, sliced (500 g / 1.1 lbs)
  • 1 cup of fresh blueberries oz/ 200 g
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

Toppings

  • Honey
  • Fresh blueberry
  • Ice cream

Instructions

  • Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
  • Grease a 10.6 x 7 inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Slice your loaf of bread, as evenly as possible if it's not already.
  • In a small bowl, stir cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest together until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, butter, honey, cinnamon, vanilla and salt together.
  • Soak 2 brioche slices on both sides and arrange next to each other in the baking dish.
  • Repeat until no brioche is left. Brioche must overlap each other.
  • Now push each brioche slice with your fingers and spread cream cheese in between them. Cover with a foil and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • When ready, preheat the oven to 350 F / 175 C. Remove from the refrigerator and top with fresh blueberries and sprinkle white sugar. Place on a baking tray and bake in the lower part of the oven for the first 20 minutes then in the middle for the last 25 minutes.
  • Remove and let cool down a bit before serving.
  • Serve with honey, syrup, butter, fresh blueberries and ice cream.

Notes

  • Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days, including the day you made it.
