Ok, so I know we're generally all about eating healthy, so two, though decadently delicious, mega cream cheese posts in a row might seem a little odd, but have you SEEN that enormous block of cream cheese we scored for a super low price? Can you really blame us?
You'll need:
16 slices of your fav bread (may we suggest something whole grain?)
8 oz. cream cheese (softened or lightly whipped with that sweet mixer you have)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup (please steer clear of "pancake syrup" and all of its high fructose corn syrup)
3 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
salt (We'll talk about measurements in a bit.)
1/4 cup dried blueberries (You can probably use fresh, but those are unavailable to us here--lame, I know.)
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/4 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
butter or oil for greasing
Let's start with the filling:
1. Mix together cream cheese, brown sugar, maple syrup, 1 tsp. of vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until it's all smooth.
2. Stir in blueberries.
3. Boom. Done with the filling.
Now to prepare those toasts:
1. Put evenly sized globs of filling on half of the pieces of bread.
2. Spread out the filling on each piece and top it with a second slice of bread making a "sandwich."
To the coating and the cooking:
1. Wisk together milk, eggs, flour, baking powder, 2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/4 tsp. salt.
2. Dunk each "sandwich" in the coating and flip it around a few times. (Think covered, not soggy.)
3. Let the excess coating drip off. Put them on a greased skillet and brown them on the stove. (At the advising of one of our favorite cooks, Amy Renfroe, we registered a double griddle for our wedding. Best. idea. ever.)
4. Flip them over to brown on the other side. This really shouldn't take very long.
5. Place the browned toasts on a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350 F.
6.Make them appear restaurant-quality dust with powdered sugar if you like. Eat, eat eat!

Evenly-sized globs--very technical term, here. |

Browned, not burnt, mmk? |
