Blueberry French Toast Bake
Description
Made 1 hour ahead of time (or overnight if you wish!), this French toast bake with cream cheese is plenty sweet thanks to maple syrup and fresh blueberries.
Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
6 large eggs
•
2 cups milk
•
1/3 cup maple syrup
•
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1 (1 pound) loaf cinnamon swirl bread, cubed
•
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
•
1 cup blueberries
Directions
1
Grease a 10x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Beat eggs in a bowl. Mix in milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3
Layer bread and cream cheese in the prepared dish. Sprinkle in blueberries. Pour milk mixture over top. Cover with foil and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight, stirring once, if desired, during soaking time to make sure bread cubes soak up the egg mixture.
4
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Meanwhile, remove baking dish from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
5
Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until the top is set and browned, about 30 more minutes.
