  • Review Count: 23

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 package (8 ounces) light cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 12 slices bread, torn into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup real maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pan: Generously butter a 13×9-inch glass baking pan to prevent sticking.

  2. Layer the Bread and Fillings: Start by placing half of the torn bread cubes into the prepared pan. Next, evenly distribute the cubed light cream cheese over the bread layer, followed by a layer of fresh and frozen blueberries. Top with the remaining bread cubes.

  3. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, real maple syrup, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  4. Pour and Refrigerate Overnight: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and blueberry layers in the pan, ensuring all bread cubes are soaked. Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the custard mixture.

  5. Bake in the Morning: The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.

  6. Bake Covered: Once the oven is preheated, bake the French toast casserole, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. This helps the dish cook evenly and prevents excessive browning on top.

  7. Uncover and Bake Further: After 30 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned, and the center is set.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the baked French toast from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, accompanied by extra maple syrup if desired.
