Blueberry Bliss French Toast 🫐🍞

Blueberry French Toast 🫐🍞

Description: 📝 I got this recipe from a good friend and have fixed it several times, it is always a big hit. Prep time is actual hands-on time, but it needs to sit overnight and taken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. I’ve tried it without cubing the bread, and it works fine. You may also wish to decrease the cream cheese to 1 package instead of two; I’ve tried it both ways and think 1 package is plenty.
