Oh honey, let me tell you about this breakfast recipe that’ll make your taste buds dance and your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! 🌟
Picture this: fluffy French toast stuffed with cream cheese and fresh berries, drizzled with homemade maple butter sauce. Yes, you read that right – and trust me, it’s about to become your new weekend obsession!
Growing up, my grandma always said breakfast was the most important meal of the day, but she never mentioned it could be this decadent! Let me share this little piece of heaven with you.
What you’ll need:
– 8 thick slices of brioche bread (trust me on this one)
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup mixed berries
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 tbsp cinnamon
– Pinch of nutmeg (our little secret ingredient!)
– Butter for cooking
For the maple butter sauce:
– 1/2 cup real maple syrup
– 1/4 cup butter
– Pinch of sea salt
Ladies (and gents!), here’s how the magic happens:
1. First, let’s make that heavenly filling. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, fold in half of the berries. (Go ahead, sneak a taste – I won’t tell! 😉)
1. Create a pocket in each slice of brioche by cutting a slit in the middle. Don’t go all the way through – we’re making pockets, not sandwiches!
1. Stuff each pocket with the cream cheese mixture. Don’t be shy with it!

1. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a shallow dish.
1. Heat your griddle or pan over medium heat with a generous pat of butter (calories don’t count before 10 AM, right? 💁♀️)
1. Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 30 seconds each side.
1. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
While your French toast is cooking, let’s make that divine maple butter sauce:
– Melt butter in a small saucepan
– Add maple syrup and salt
– Simmer until slightly thickened
– Try not to drink it straight from the pan (seriously, it’s that good!)
Plate your creation with the remaining fresh berries, drizzle generously with the maple butter sauce, and dust with powdered sugar if you’re feeling fancy (and who isn’t?).
Y’all, this breakfast is what sweet dreams are made of! It’s perfect for special occasions, lazy Sunday mornings, or when you just want to feel like the kitchen queen you are! 👑
