Description
A decadent mix of lightly sweetened cream cheese, fluffy brioche bread, and fresh summer berries make the best breakfast or brunch menu item!
Ingredients
1 loaf Brioche Bread (commonly found in the bakery section of the grocery store, not the bread isle)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon confectioners sugar
4 eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I LOVE Watkins Vanilla Extract)
1-2 cups of Sliced Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries
4-5 Tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Slice Brioche Bread with a serrated knife. Cut each slice diagonally to make two triangles. Set aside.
- Place 8 ounces cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until cream cheese is smooth and spreadable. Add confectioners sugar and stir until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl mix 4 eggs, 1/3 cup milk, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Line a large tray or plate with brioche triangles. Lightly spread cream cheese mixture onto each piece. Top with fresh berries and sandwich two pieces together.
- Preheat you griddle or cast iron skillet. Melt butter when heated, dip each piece into egg/milk mixture when ready to cook and cook over medium heat until each side is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Your hands will get messy when dipping so make sure you have some paper towels on stand by!
- Serve with extra berries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
