12 slices day-old bread
2 packages (8 ounces each) Cream Cheese
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
12 eggs
2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
 

Sauce:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon butter or margarine

 

CUT bread into 1 inch cubes (I just tear mine into little pieces)
PLACE half in a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish
CUT cream cheese into 1 inch cubes (I just sort of pinch off small pieces)
PLACE over bread
TOP with blueberries and remaining bread and SET aside
 

In large bowl BEAT eggs
ADD milk and syrup
MIX well
POUR over bread mixture
COVER and chill 8 hours or overnight
 
REMOVE from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking
COVER and BAKE at 350 for 30 minutes
UNCOVER and BAKE 25-30 minutes more or until golden brown and the center is set

 
In saucepan:
COMBINE sugar and cornstarch
ADD water
BRING to boil over medium heat, BOIL for 3 minutes stirring constantly
STIR in blueberries and REDUCE heat
SIMMER for 8-10 minutes or until blueberries burst
STIR in butter until melted
 

SERVE over French toast

YEILD: 6-8 servings (1 ¾ cups sauce*)

 
 

 
*I like to double the sauce recipe and serve it over ice cream!
