Local blueberries are now in season here in Ontario. I have been wanting to do french toast and I had some cream cheese on hand so I tried throwing them all together. It was pretty good. There was a really nice compliment of flavours and textures. The french toast was nice and crisp, the cheese was creamy and the blueberries were juicy. It was a good start to blueberry season.

That is just sheer indulgence! I won’t be showing Graham though, as we have a standing argument about whether french toast should be made with salt or sugar and I am in the salt camp! But, I would make an exception for this!
