Ingredients

French Toast

  • 12 slices day old Texas toast, cut into 1-inch cubes (or 1 loaf of French bread)
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or canned
  • 2 cups milk
  • 12 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup

Topping

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or canned
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instructions

French Toast

  • Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place half of the bread pieces in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Evenly distribute the cream cheese cubes on top of the bread, sprinkle on 1 cup of blueberries, and top with the remaining bread pieces.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup. Pour evenly over the French toast. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, remove the French toast from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook an additional 25-30 minutes until the center has set.

Topping

  • For the topping, in a medium saucepan, mix the cornstarch, sugar, and water. Heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Mix in the 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 the blueberry topping over the French toast.
