Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 slices day old Texas Toast (cut into 1 inch cubes (or a loaf of french bread, when I lived in NC they didn't have Texas toast!))
  • 2 8 ounce cream cheese (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 1 cup blueberries (I used 1/2 fresh and 1/2 canned)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 12 eggs beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup blueberries (I used canned)
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter

Instruction

  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and place half of the bread cubes in the bottom.
  • Place cream cheese cubes and spread 1 cup blueberries with the remaining bread cubes on top.
  • In large bowl mix the eggs, milk, vanilla and syrup. Pour evenly over the top of the bread mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cover the mixture with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil from the top and cook for another 25-30 minutes until center is firm.
  • For topping, in medium saucepan mix the cornstarch, sugar, and water and bring to a boil. Cook mixture for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Mix in remaining cup of blueberries. If you use canned blueberries just let it simmer for a few minutes. If you use fresh blueberries simmer for about 10 minutes until they burst.
  • Stir in the butter and pour over the french toast. Enjoy!!
