minutesIngredients
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.
