Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Blueberry Mascarpone French Toast
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the room temperature mascarpone and fresh blueberries. Gently mix until the blueberries are evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. Take two slices of challah bread and spread a generous layer of the blueberry mascarpone filling on one side of each slice. Press them together.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, sugar, and kosher salt until well combined.
  4. Carefully dip the stuffed bread into the custard mixture, coating each side for about 20-30 seconds. Allow soaking until slightly glossy.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat, melt butter, and cook the custard-soaked bread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the French toast to plates, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve immediately.

For serving a crowd, consider baking the assembled French toast in a casserole dish. This can be made ahead of time and soaked overnight in the fridge.
