12 slices day-old Italian break, cut into 1-inch cubes;
2(8 oz) packages cream cheese, cut into small cubes; ( I only use 1 pkg)
1 cup of fresh blueberries;
12 eggs, beaten; ( I used all egg white, 1/3 egg while = 2 large whole eggs)
2 cups of milk;
1/3 cup maple syrup;
1 cup white sugar;
2 tbls cornstarch;
1 cup water;
1 cup fresh blueberries;
1 tbls butter ( I skipped the butter)
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange half the bread cubes in the dish, and top with cream cheese cubes. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over the cream cheese, and top with remaining bread cubes.
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and syrup. Pour over the bread cubes. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the bread cube mixture from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cover, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking 25 to 30 minutes, until center is firm and surface is lightly browned.
- In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, cook 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 cup blueberries. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, until the blueberries burst. Stir in the butter, and pour over the baked French toast
