1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FRENCH TOAST:
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 slices French bread (1 in. thick)
SYRUP:
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, orange peel and cinnamon until smooth; set aside. In a shallow bowl, combine eggs, milk and vanilla. Cut a pocket in the crust of each slice of bread. Stuff each pocket with 1-2 tablespoons filling. Dip bread in egg mixture on both sides. Fry on a greased hot griddle for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. For syrup, combine water, maple syrup, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil 2 minutes to thicken. Reduce heat; add blueberries and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until berries are tender. Serve over French toast.
