Print Recipe

Indulge in thick slices of brioche bread stuffed with a rich cheesecake filling and blueberries, cooked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 150g (5.3 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup blueberries (fresh or thawed if frozen)
  • 1 loaf day-old brioche, sliced thick (8 slices)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Butter, for frying
  • Extra blueberries
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to mix until completely smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
  3. Slice the brioche into 1.5-inch thick slices. Create a deep pocket in the middle of each slice.
  4. Generously fill each brioche slice with 1–2 tablespoons of cheesecake mixture.
  5. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, cream, and cinnamon until well combined.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, adding a small knob of butter.
  7. Dip each stuffed slice of brioche into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
  8. Place the coated slices into the preheated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side.
  9. Transfer the cooked slices to a plate. Dust with icing sugar, sprinkle extra blueberries, and drizzle with maple syrup.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use day-old brioche for the best results. For healthier options, consider air frying or baking instead of pan frying.
