Ingredients
  

French Toast Casserole

  • 12 slices day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 packages cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes 8 ounces each
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 12 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk

Preparation

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Prepare casserole: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange ½ of the bread cubes in the dish and top with cream cheese cubes.
  • Sprinkle blueberries over the cream cheese, then top with remaining bread cubes.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup together in a large bowl until well-combined; pour over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove casserole from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake casserole in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking until center is firm and surface is lightly browned, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare blueberry sauce: Mix sugar, water, and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in blueberries, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all the blueberries burst, about 10 minutes. Stir in butter.
  • Serve portions of casserole on plates and pour warm syrup over top.
