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
- 0.33 cups maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 loaf cinnamon swirl bread , 1 pound
- 1 package cream cheese , 8 ounce
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
-
1
Grease a 10x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
2
Beat eggs in a bowl. Mix in milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
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.
-
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.

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.

Beef Mushroom Barley Soup
Family favorite. It kind of turns into a type of stew as the barley soaks up much of the beef stock. Best part is that it gets better with age, so make plenty and enjoy throughout the week! It's always better the second day, so you might want to cook it one day, refrigerate it overnight, and then cook it again the next day.
That Zucchini Spaghetti Stanley Tucci Loves (Spaghetti alla Nerano)
After listening to Stanley Tucci lose his mind about this zucchini pasta and calling it life-changing and one of the best things he's ever eaten, I decided I'd give it a try. The results were amazing and the key to getting the toasted sweet taste of the zucchini was deep-frying it!
Best No-Bake Cheesecake
This is an amazing recipe for no-bake cheesecake with whipping cream and cream cheese that I just threw together one day — no oven, no eggs. Everyone loves it so much, that it doesn't last long! Top with your favorite canned or fresh fruit.
