This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar in the cream cheese filling. The French toast itself was good, but the sweetness of the filling was a bit overpowering.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but I loved this recipe! The cream cheese filling was so rich and creamy, and the French toast was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll use raspberries instead of blueberries.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had a hard time getting the French toast to cook evenly, and the cream cheese filling was a bit too runny. I think I'll stick to my regular French toast recipe.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some spices to the cream cheese filling. The French toast itself was good, but it needed a little something extra.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to make the cream cheese filling ahead of time, and then I had to cook the French toast. It was all worth it in the end, though, because the French toast was delicious!

I thought this recipe was just okay. The blueberries were a bit tart for my taste, and the cream cheese filling was a bit too rich. The French toast itself was good, but nothing special.
