Blueberry-Stuffed French Toast is a classic breakfast dish that has become a staple in many households. This recipe takes the classic recipe up a notch by adding sweet, juicy blueberries and creamy, tangy cream cheese to the filling.

3.	In a large bowl, beat eggs, cream, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
4.	Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture, coating heavily.
5.	Cook on a greased griddle or in a large skillet on medium heat until browned on both sides.
