Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 4 thick slices of sturdy bread (such as brioche or challah)
Blackberry Cream Filling
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
- 1/2 cup plant-based cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
Custard Soak
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
For Cooking and Serving
- 2 tbsp plant-based butter
- Maple syrup (natural), for drizzling
- Fresh blackberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberry Cream Filling: Gently heat fresh blackberries with maple syrup (natural) and natural gelling agent in a small saucepan over low heat until the mixture thickens into a luscious spread. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before stirring in plant-based cream and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Stuffed French Toast: Take two thick slices of bread and spread a generous layer of the blackberry cream filling between them, forming a sandwich. Press gently to secure the filling without squeezing out the cream.
- Make the Custard Soak: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cinnamon, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until well combined, forming a smooth custard mixture.
- Dip and Cook: Heat plant-based butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip the stuffed bread sandwich into the custard soak, coating both sides thoroughly but gently. Cook in the skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve Warm: Place the cooked stuffed French toast on a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup (natural) and garnish with fresh blackberries. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Choose thick bread slices to hold the filling and soak up custard without falling apart.
- Do not overfill to avoid messy sandwiches and soggy bread.
- Favor fresh blackberries for the best flavor and texture; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess juice.
- Cook on low to medium heat to prevent burning and keep the center tender.
- Allow the blackberry cream filling to cool before assembling to maintain ideal texture.
