Stuffed French Toast With Berry Sauce

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

1. 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.
