Now that we have our own chickens, eggs are certainly not in short supply. And we also always have bread in the house since you can buy a day-old loaf of french bread very inexpensively and use it for many recipes.
Today I’m making french toast… with a twist! I decided to try to make french toast stuffed with cream cheese & blueberries.
It was so easy! I took my french bread out and sliced a few slices. Then I brought blueberries out of the freezer, some fresh eggs from our pastured hens, cream cheese and my own home-canned apple pie filling.
Putting it all together was a snap: I spread softened cream cheese on half of the slices. Then I drizzled a little honey on the cream cheese to sweeten it and sprinkled on some frozen blueberries. Finally I topped them with the other slices of bread.
I mixed up 4 eggs with a splash of milk & about two tablespoons of powdered sugar. I dipped the sandwiches into the egg mixture coating both sides. Each one was slipped onto my preheated cast-iron griddle, greased with a little butter.
A few minutes on each side and they were ready. I served them hot with a couple spoonfuls of home-canned sweetened apples ladled on top.
Of course if I wanted I could drizzle with my homemade maple-flavored syrup instead but I loved them with the apple. I was able to use inexpensive items I already had in my kitchen and our meal was delicious!

Oh YUM!! I really like the idea of using the apple pie filling for a topper too! 🙂
Candy, it was really good! ~TxH~
Oh this looks so wonderful! I love any combination of fruit and cream cheese, and so this is right up my alley. I didn’t see this post in linked up to our blog hop yet so I thought I’d invite you to share this post and up to two others at our From the Farm Blog Hop, which is live right now. Here’s the link!
Yum there is nothing better than creamcheese with berries!
This looks so good! Love that you experiment and come up with such fabulous combinations! Thanks for sharing at TTF!
Wow, these look wonderful! Definitely pinning because my husband is a blueberry fanatic! He loves blueberry syrup on his pancakes so I know he will love this recipe! Stopping by from the TGIF party!
Oh this looks so good I was hoping to make it when my daughter comes, but not sure I can get some organic cream cheese. No matter I’ll get some next month, and make them pinning to my breakfast board. You’re the first one I have heard of to use powdered sugar, we use cinnamon in our egg and milk mix.
This recipe looks so tasty. Hmmm…I might have to try this for lunch. I actually have all of the ingredients at the moment (I don’t normally have cream cheese and bread in the house).
Thanks for linking it and your other recipes to today’s link party at Future Expat. It’s recipes like these that keep me exciting about having the party every week!
This looks great. I can honestly say I would have never thought of it. Love blueberry and cream cheese, and the addition of apple is interesting.
You got my attention when I seen stuffed French toast :} This looks Soooo Yummy.
Hubby not a blueberry fan so will have to use strawberries or something other for him. (he just doesn’t know what’s good.) When I make just, plain ole French toast, I will sprinkle a little of nutmeg, vanilla or almond extract to my egg, milk mixture. Just sprinkle with some ‘snow’ (powdered sugar and add fruit topping, who could ask for anything more; except maybe a couple of sausages on the side.
Dang, this is making me hungry.
Thanks for the recipe.
Off now to see if I can find your recipe for the canned apple pie filling :}
Hello gorgeous! I’m licking my lips right now, it looks so good! Pinned and tweeted. I hope to see on Monday at 7 pm. We love to party with you! Happy Saturday~Lou Lou Girls
I wondered about that being I wasn’t able to find your recipe.
Have seen many recipes on the internet for canned apple pie filling but just didn’t know which one to choose, plus I like the tried and true recipes that someone else had already made.
Think I will go look again and choose the easiest recipe possible or go some of my old cookbooks (I have plenty of them) and see what I can find.
Have a Wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving
