Blueberry French Toast Casserole

Last week 12/11, I showed the following on KOLD. Click here to go to the link where you can watch the video. Hopefully they will have the video to watch from my news segment tomorrow!

As a child, I would love when my mom would occasionally cook breakfast for dinner! My kids also love when I do it from time to time. This is one of our favorite breakfast casseroles!


Blueberry French Toast Casserole (from 101 Things To Do With A Casserole)

1 loaf (20 ounces) bread, cubed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
12 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup maple syrup or pancake syrup
powdered sugar

Place 1/2 the bread cubes in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Layer cream cheese cubes evenly over the bread. Sprinkle blueberries over top. Cover with the remaining bread cubes. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and syrup. Drizzle egg mixture evenly over bread. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 25-30 minutes more, or until center is firm and top is golden brown. Lightly dust casserole with powdered sugar. Serve with blueberry or maple syrup. Makes 6 servings.
