    Ingredients

    • 16 slices of bread (thicker sliced bread works well)
    • 8 oz. cream cheese
    • 1 cup fresh (or frozen) blueberries, more if desired (thaw if frozen)
    • 12  eggs
    • 2 cups milk
    • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • extra pure maple syrup, warmed, for serving
    • blueberry sauce (see recipe in Step 6 below)
    • fresh fruit for garnish (raspberries, strawberries)

    Directions

    1. 1Spray 9x13" glass baking pan with cooking spray.
    2. 2Remove crusts from bread. Cut slices into 1-inch cubes. (Tip: An electric knife works well to cut bread without squishing it.) Place cubes loosely in bottom of prepared pan.
    3. 3Cut cream cheese into tiny bits. Sprinkle bits over bread. Top with blueberries.
    4. 4In large bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in milk and syrup, blending well. Pour egg mixture over bread mixture. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
    5. 5Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and the center is set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes to set, then serve with blueberry sauce (see below) and warm maple syrup on the side. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries and whole fresh raspberries if desired.
    6. 6BLUEBERRY SAUCE: In a sauce pan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 cup water. Whisk to blend well. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries; reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until berries have burst. Serve warm on the side for drizzling over the Blueberry Breakfast Bake. (Also terrific on pancakes, ice cream or pound cake!)
