Overnight Blueberry French Toast
Warm, fruity, soft bites of breakfast perfection is what you get when you make this overnight blueberry french toast! I love going to bed knowing that when I wake up I will have breakfast ready to pop in the oven and enjoy! What a great way to start the day!
Ingredients
- 12 slices day old Texas Toast cut into 1 inch cubes (or a loaf of french bread, when I lived in NC they didn't have Texas toast!)
- 2 8 ounce cream cheese cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 cup blueberries I used 1/2 fresh and 1/2 canned
- 2 cups milk
- 12 eggs beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Topping:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup blueberries I used canned
- 1 Tbsp salted butter
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and place half of the bread cubes in the bottom.
- Place cream cheese cubes and spread 1 cup blueberries with the remaining bread cubes on top.
- In large bowl mix the eggs, milk, vanilla and syrup. Pour evenly over the top of the bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cover the mixture with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil from the top and cook for another 25-30 minutes until center is firm.
- For topping, in medium saucepan mix the cornstarch, sugar, and water and bring to a boil. Cook mixture for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Mix in remaining cup of blueberries. If you use canned blueberries just let it simmer for a few minutes. If you use fresh blueberries simmer for about 10 minutes until they burst.
- Stir in the butter and pour over the french toast. Enjoy!!
