This is the best breakfast dish I've ever tasted. With luscious blue berries inside and in a sauce, it's almost more like a dessert. The recipe was shared with me by a local blueberry grower. -Patricia Walls, Aurora, Minnesota

SERVINGS: 6-8

CATEGORY: Breakfast/Brunch

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling Bake: 55 min.

Ingredients:

  • 12 slices day-old white bread, crusts removed
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

Cut bread into 1-in. cubes; place half in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cut cream cheese into 1-in. cubes; place over bread. Top with blueberries and remaining bread cubes.

    I made this for a mother's day brunch yesterday. My mom and my boyfriend's mom were meeting for the first time! I used Challah bread, and I mixed a little strawberry cream cheese in with the plain cream cheese. It was delicious! Everyone absolutely loved it!
