Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Casserole

  • 12 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 12 slices day old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 (8 ounces) packages of cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Blueberry Sauce

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Set the side.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and maple syrup.
  3. Cube the bread into 1-inch pieces and half to the casserole dish. Cube the cream cheese into 1-inch pieces and add on top of the bread, followed by the remaining bread.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over top the bread and cream cheese. Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  5. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  6. Bake the casserole in the oven covered for about 30 minutes. Uncover the casserole and continue baking until the center is firm, about 25-30 minutes.
  7. While the casserole is cooking, prepare the blueberry sauce. Mix sugar, water, and cornstarch together in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the blueberries, reduce to low heat and continue to cook until the blueberries burst, about 10 minutes. Stir in the butter and remove from heat.
  8. Pour the sauce over the casserole while still warm and enjoy!
