Stuffed French Toast:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together eggs, cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

• Make sandwiches by spreading whipped cream cheese onto one side of each slice of bread.

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, dip sandwiches one at a time into the egg mixture and place into a skillet.

• Cut into triangles and pour blackberry sauce over the toast. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
