Description

Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffed French Toast

  • 6 thick slices sturdy bread (such as brioche or challah)
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)

For the Custard Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • Extra maple syrup (natural), for drizzling
  • Extra fresh blackberries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Filling: In a bowl, gently mix the plant-based cream cheese with maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy. Carefully fold in the fresh blackberries without crushing them.
  2. Stuff the Bread: Slice each thick bread slice horizontally without cutting all the way through. Spread a generous amount of the blackberry cream mixture inside, then firmly close the sandwich to keep the filling contained.
  3. Make the Custard Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (natural) until the mixture is smooth and frothy to enable effective soaking of the stuffed bread.
  4. Soak the Stuffed Bread: Submerge each stuffed sandwich into the custard mixture, soaking for about 30 seconds on each side to allow flavor absorption without the bread falling apart.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Heat plant-based butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each soaked sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve Warm: Plate the french toast with an extra drizzle of maple syrup (natural) and a few fresh blackberries to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Choose thick, slightly stale bread for optimal custard absorption and to prevent the bread from falling apart.
  • Fold blackberries gently into the cream filling to maintain their shape and avoid excess moisture.
  • Do not soak the bread for too long to avoid sogginess; 30 seconds per side is sufficient.
  • Cook over medium heat to achieve a crisp golden crust without burning.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.
