Mascarpone and Blueberry Stuffed French Toast

Don't tell my husband, but I've been having a love affair.

With mascarpone.

I picked up a container from the store the other day and then forgot what I had planned to do with it. Maybe it was going to find its way into a cheesecake or get stirred into a risotto just before serving, but it didn't stand a chance. Instead I cracked it open and added a spoonful to my oatmeal in the morning instead of a splash of milk.

And then it made its way into my lunch. I smoothed a scoop onto a piece of toast and topped it with some rosemary roasted grapes. I snapped a photo of that and posted it on Instagram with a quick recipe. I've been doing that lately…showing my Instagram feed a little love.

Instagram is the one form of social media that I can get lost in, photo after photo of ridiculously gorgeous food. And then I'm left craving things I didn't even know I liked…like chia pudding and spelt donuts. Does this happen to you too?

Anyway, I digress. I was feeling so inspired by that toast that I took it a step further and made it even more indulgent by stuffing the mascarpone and blueberries into challah bread to make french toast. Oh my!

The tangy creaminess of the mascarpone, the plump, juicy blueberries, the light and airy challah with a lightly sugared, crispy crust…this stuffed french toast is everything.

Mascarpone and Blueberry Stuffed French Toast

This recipe is easy enough for a weekend breakfast, but dusted with a little powdered sugar and served alongside a good maple syrup and it's most definitely company-worthy. But please don't wait for a special guest to make this. And do yourself a favor and buy an extra container of mascarpone just to keep in the house. Before you know it, you'll be finding a way to incorporate it into your breakfast, lunch and dinner just like this lovesick girl.

Have a great weekend!
