Stuffed French Toast

Have you ever had stuffed french toast?  I heard you can order it at IHOP. A coworker made some and it was absolutely delicious.  She made it in three varieties - bananas, ham and cheese, and cream cheese. I researched a few recipes and decided to try making it.  I had some blueberries in my freezer from fruit picking, so I made blueberry cream cheese stuffed french toast.  I added raspberries and powdered sugar for a finishing touch.  Enjoy!
