  • 12 slices of day-old French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 – 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 ½ cups of fresh blueberries
  • 12 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups of sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange half the bread cubes in the dish, and top with the cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of 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 with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Remove the bread cube mixture from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 20-30 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 2 cups of blueberries. Reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the blueberries burst.  Stir in the butter and serve with French Toast.  

Background: Overnight Blueberry French Toast is a family favorite recipe that has been passed down to the younger generations.  We’ve always made it for Christmas morning and special occasions, but it’s simple enough to make any time! Every time I make it for people who have never had it, they always request the recipe.
