How to Make Cream Cheese Stuffed Blackberry Compote French Toast

Ingredients:

8 slices Thick Bread (Brioche or Challah) (Substitute with any thick-cut bread if necessary.)
8 ounces Whipped Cream Cheese (Can replace with mascarpone for a different flavor.)
3 large Eggs, beaten (Acts as a binder.)
1.5 cups Skim Milk (Can use whole milk or a non-dairy alternative.)
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Enhances flavor with warm spices.)
0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 tablespoons Butter (Can substitute with non-dairy butter.)
Powdered Sugar (For garnish.)
12 ounces Blackberries (Fresh or frozen can be used.)
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
0.5 teaspoon Additional Vanilla Extract
0.25 cup White Sugar (Adjust to taste.)
0.25 cup Water
1 tablespoon Corn Starch (To thicken compote.)

Directions:

Make the Blackberry Compote: In a saucepan, combine blackberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, additional vanilla extract, sugar, water, and corn starch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently and mash some of the blackberries with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the French Toast: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Take a slice of bread and spread a generous amount of whipped cream cheese on one side. Top with another slice to make a sandwich.
Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, dip the cream cheese-stuffed sandwich in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Cook in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining slices.
Serve: Arrange the French toast on plates, top with blackberry compote, and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy warm!

How to Serve Cream Cheese Stuffed Blackberry Compote French Toast

Serve this creamy and fruity French toast warm. Top each serving with generous dollops of the homemade blackberry compote for added sweetness. A sprinkle of powdered sugar adds a nice touch. For an extra treat, serve with fresh blackberries or a dollop of whipped cream on the side.

How to Store Cream Cheese Stuffed Blackberry Compote French Toast

If you have leftovers, store the French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The blackberry compote can also be stored separately in the fridge for about a week. To reheat, place the French toast in a toaster oven or skillet until warmed through.

Tips to Make Cream Cheese Stuffed Blackberry Compote French Toast

Use day-old bread for a better texture, as it absorbs the egg mixture without falling apart.
Feel free to add other fruits to the compote, such as blueberries or raspberries, for variety.
Adjust the sweetness of the blackberry compote to your taste. Add more sugar if you like it sweeter.

Variation

For a chocolatey twist, consider adding chocolate chips to the whipped cream cheese mix or drizzling melted chocolate over the top before serving. You can also use different flavors of cream cheese, like strawberry or vanilla.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blackberries?
Yes, you can use frozen blackberries. Just make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before making the compote.

Can I make this ahead of time?
While the French toast is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the blackberry compote a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

What can I do with leftover compote?
Leftover blackberry compote is great on pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or even ice cream. Get creative with it!
