This is the best breakfast dish I've ever tasted. Luscious blueberries are tucked into the French toast and in the sauce that goes over the top. With the cream cheese and berry combination, this dish reminds me of dessert. The recipe was shared with me by a local blueberry grower.—Patricia Walls, Aurora, Minnesota

This is fabulous! I use a 1lb loaf of day old farmers bread instead of 12 slices. This makes for a denser casserole.

Our family loves this breakfast dish. The recipe was shared with us by a friend following a Christmas brunch. We've since made it for family get-togethers and it is absolutely loved. We're now asked to bring it whenever we get together for breakfast.

I've made this several times and everyone loves it, however for my taste I reduce the cream cheese to one 8 oz package.
