Brie and Blackberry French Toast

I can’t believe that it’s already Christmas Eve! Where does the time go? Fortunately, all of my gifts are bought and wrapped, and I’m ready for Santa to come tonight even if the holiday did sneak up on me. What I didn’t prepare for was a delicious Christmas breakfast. So I scrolled back through my Instagram and found one of my favorite easy and slightly decadent breakfast recipes that would be perfect for tomorrow morning.

This brie and blackberry French toast is super easy to make and the perfect sweet (but not too sweet) breakfast option. Don’t have blackberries? No problem! Strawberries and blueberries would also work great or even a frozen berry medley that you might have on had for smoothies! So let’s get to it:

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • 4 pieces of bread of choice

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 4 oz brie (or more or less depending on preference)

  • 1/2 cup blackberries

  • 1 tsp chia seeds

Instructions:

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon.

  2. Dip the slices of bread (both sides) into the mixture, fully coating.

  3. Cook the bread in a greased pan over medium heat on the stovetop until golden brown, flip and repeat on the other side.

    Once cooked, spread the brie on one side of one piece of the warm bread and top with a second slice. This should melt the brie. If not, you cant return them to the pan for a few minutes to do so. Repeat with the other slices.

  4. In the meantime, heat up the berries in a sauce pan over medium high heat. As they start to cook down, mix in the chia seeds to form a bit of a jam. Top your French toast with the blackberry mixture and a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy!
