Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Assemble the French Toast: Spread about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling between two slices of bread to form a sandwich.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Make the Blackberry Compote: In a saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until berries break down and sauce thickens slightly.
Serve: Serve French toast warm, topped with blackberry compote, powdered sugar, and fresh blackberries.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use mascarpone instead of cream cheese.
You can make the compote ahead and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
This dish is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee.
