I based this recipe off other French toast casseroles but without all the white sugar most of them called for. The blueberries and maple syrup sweeten it up plenty! Serve with more maple syrup, if desired.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (1 pound) loaf cinnamon swirl bread, cubed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 cup blueberries
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 10×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
Beat eggs in a bowl. Mix in milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
