8 c. whole milk

¼ c. vanilla extract

4 ½ t. cinnamon

1 t. salt

In a bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy; whisk in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Transfer to a shallow pan.

For each serving, to order: Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto 2 bread slices. Top one with about 1 ½ ounces blueberries; cover with the remaining bread. Soak both sides in the egg mixture.
