Overnight Blueberry French Toast
Picture taken without the yummy blueberry syrup drizzled on top
I made it Friday night, before we went to the Watervue BBQ with the Schaffers. They served yummy steak, baked potatoes, salad, yummy rolls, and cookies. These apartment complexes are way nice. They cook for us once a month. Its always a delicious free meal.
Okay so back to the "make you feel special" meal. This french toast casserole is super easy, and really delicous. Y'all should definitely try it. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
12 slices ITALIAN BREAD, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
10 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
1.Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. 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.
2.In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
3.Remove the bread cube mixture from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4.Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes, until center is firm and surface is lightly browned.
5.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. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, until the blueberries burst. Stir in the butter, and pour over the baked French toast
