Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Casserole
- 12 slices bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9×13-inch pan and spread half of the bread cubes over the bottom. Top with cream cheese and 1 cup blueberries. Layer remaining bread cubes on top.
Step 2
Mix together eggs, milk, and syrup in a bowl. Pour over the bread cubes in the pan. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
Step 3
Remove from the refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes more.
Step 6
While casserole bakes, combine water, sugar, and cornstarch for sauce. Bring to a boil until thickened. Reduce to a simmer and add blueberries and butter until cooked down. Serve on top of casserole or on the side.
Cook’s Note:
You can use strawberries or peaches instead of blueberries, and frozen instead of fresh. Can use honey instead of maple syrup.
