Ingredients

• 8 slices bread

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup blackberries

• 1/4 cup water

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 4 units eggs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tbsp butter

Directions

• In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, water, 1/4 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens.
• In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto four slices of bread, then top with the remaining four slices to form sandwiches.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined for the French toast batter.
• Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
• Cook the sandwiches in the hot pan for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
• Serve the French toast hot, topped with the warm blackberry compote and any additional desired toppings like syrup or fresh berries.
