ingredients

6 slices bread, 1 inch cubes
8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2" cubes
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 tablespoon butter

directions

Spray or grease a baking dish. Arrange half of the bread cubes in the dish. Top with cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle 1/2 C. blueberries over the cream cheese. Top with the remaining bread cubes.

In a large bowl, mix the beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate overnight if serving the next day. If not, continue with freezing instructions.

Freezing and Cooking Directions: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and place inside a labeled one or two gallon freezer bag. Remove excess air, seal and freeze.

To serve, thaw if frozen (takes about 12-14 in refrigerator). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking.

Bake covered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Uncover and continue baking 25-30 minutes until center is firm and surface is lightly browned.

For sauce, in a medium saucepan mix the sugar, cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly cook 3-4 minutes. Mix in the remaining blueberries (1/2 C. per recipe). Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes until the blueberries burst. Stir in the butter and pour over the baked French toast casserole.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This was amazing! I doubled the recipe (except for the cream cheese) and used Panera country white bread. The cooking time had to increased by 30-40 minutes. Made for a brunch and many asked for the recipe. Easy to assemble, definitely a keeper.

  2. mworthington REVIEW:

    Everyone always loves this recipe. I use fresh blueberries when I can get them otherwise it works just fine with frozen. I tried freezing this for the first time and baked it last weekend. It turned out perfect so if you are making this consider making two, and freezing one.

  3. Loulaine REVIEW:

    This is wonderful, made it for company, they all wanted the recipe to make for Christmas morning. So easy to do.

  4. Nicole REVIEW:

    We loved this recipe! I made it for Christmas morning breakfast (along with a side of thick-cut bacon) and I had a houseful of happy customers. Delicious, simple and different. I'll definitely make this recipe again.

  5. Holly REVIEW:

    This is a wonderful recipe. I had no blueberries so substituted raspberries. Would be great for a brunch
