In this recipe
Everything in this recipe is really easy to get ahold of if you don’t already have it in your kitchen.
Texas toast: these thick slices of bread are perfect for making French toast however you can use any bread you would like for this recipe.

Blueberries: both fresh and frozen work for this recipe however you will want to thaw them first.

Soften your ingredients
One of the most important steps for making sure this recipe comes out well is to make sure that the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will allow for things to mix well but also to be able to spread and place on the hot French toast without ripping the bread. When you add the blueberries, you will want to beat until they have burst. You can mash them ahead of time before adding the cream cheese to speed up the process.
Cooking the French toast
This part is like cooking any other slice of French toast. You don’t want to let the bread absorb too much of the eggy liquid otherwise it will become too soggy. I have also found that cooking both sides of the bread makes for a better stuffed French toast then to stuff it first and only cook one side. When you do it this way you also don’t have to worry about too much of the filling oozing out before the toast is cooked.
Stuffing the French toast
Once the first side is done cooking and you flip it over, now is the time to add the stuffing to half of the slices in your pan. Depending on the size of your pan you may have to do these in steps. It is important to make sure that your pan is big enough for at least two slices of bread at a time to make sure everything cooks evenly. Once the other side is ready take the slice without the cream cheese and place it on top and you are good to go!
