The weekend is all about yummy breakfasts for my family . . . and it doesn't get any easier than this!
I'm sure you may have noticed that I have a thing for overnight french toast recipes. I decided to try something a little more fruity this time, and loved it! I could not get enough of the blueberry syrup. I could drink that stuff (okay, that is a little gross, but you get the point)!
I've never been a big fan of blueberries, but they went perfectly with the cream cheese!
Mmm Mm Mm!
Don't worry, there will be enough for leftovers the next day. :)
Overnight Blueberry French Toast Recipe
(Recipe from Real Mom Kitchen)
12 slices bread, cut into cubes (french or Texas toast work well)
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cut in cubes
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
12 large eggs
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 cups milk (I use 1 cup milk and 1 cup cream)
Syrup:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 Tablespoon butter
Arrange 1/2 of the bread cubes in a greased 9 x 13 pan.
Sprinkle cream cheese cubes and blueberries evenly over the bread cubes.
Top with remaining bread cubes.
Mix together eggs, milk, and syrup.
Pour over bread cubes and cover pan with foil. Let chill in refrigerator overnight.
Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes or until fluffy and golden. Top with sauce. Serves 8.
Syrup: Cook water, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Stir in blueberries and simmer for 10 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted. Serve over the french toast.

We had it Friday morning :) It was delicious - although we think that next time we make it, we'll only soak it for a little while - while the over preheats :) It was a littls soggy for my personal tastes :) lol. But DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteMine came out really kinda soupy in the middle. I baked for another 15 minutes but it was still pretty wet. Any remedy?
ReplyDeleteLove this blog by the way.... So does my family of four boys!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds sooooo good. Can't wait to try. =D
ReplyDeleteI am so trying this when my husband comes in!!! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteCan you make these with raspberries instead of blueberries????
ReplyDelete@Barbara,
ReplyDeleteYou could definitely substitute raspberries instead of blueberries! That sounds delicious. Let us know how it goes! :)
Made this tonight and we LOVED it. After reading the reviews, I didn't soak it overnight, but let it sit in the fridge about an hour or so before baking. It came out awesome! Thank you Six Sisters!!! You gals rock!
ReplyDeleteHey six sisters! This has got to be one of the most amazing recipes I have seen. I am sure it is calorie free :) Would so love for you to link up and share it with us at Kids in the Kitchen: http://younglivingoillady.com/home/kids-in-the-kitchen-link-up-week-7/
ReplyDeleteThanks,

I love french toast, it's probably my favorite breakfast food and I love anything with blueberries. I'll definitely have to try this recipe! Following your blog now!

This looks amazing. I'm totally in love right now.
ReplyDeleteCould you please change the 'Syrup' recipe part to say 'Sauce'? It's very confusing since the first part of the recipe calls for regular syrup and yet there's directions to make 'Syrup' (blueberries, cornstarch, etc.) which is actually the sauce you put on top. Anyway just a suggestion since it's misleading. Thanks :-)
