Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • 12 slices day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (Italian bread works best I have found)
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 12 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
  1. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Arrange half the bread cubes in the dish, and top with cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over the cream cheese, and top with remaining bread cubes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes. Press down the cubes a bit to sort of “soak” them and make them “French toast-like”. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Remove the bread cube mixture from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking 25-30 minutes, until center is firm and surface is lightly browned. Enjoy warm!
  7. In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, cook 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 cup blueberries.
  8. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, until the blueberries begin to burst. Stir in the butter, and pour over the baked French toast. Enjoy!
