OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE



Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole image

This french toast recipe is the definition of breakfast decadence. Everything is prepared the night before and baked in the morning - great for a special occasion or brunch. The blueberry sauce brings the french toast bake over the top. It's sweet and filled with blueberry flavor. We can't wait to try it again with blackberries...

Provided by Roberta Broussard

Categories     Breakfast Casseroles

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

FRENCH TOAST
12 slice bread, any kind or loaf of French bread
2 pkg cream cheese, room temperature, 8 oz each
1 c blueberries, fresh or frozen
12 large eggs
1 c milk, add a little at a time until milk is absorbed by bread
1/3 c maple syrup or honey
BLUEBERRY SAUCE
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 c water
1 c blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. French Toast Casserole: Spray 9 X 13-inch dish with Pam. Cut or tear bread into cubes and arrange in the bottom of dish.
  • 2. Cut up cream cheese into 1-inch cubes. Drop the cream cheese cubes over the top of the bread. Sprinkle 1 cup blueberries over the top.
  • 3. In mixing bowl, combine 12 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup maple syrup. Pour this mixture, a little at a time until the bread soaks up the milk but not soggy. You don't want it to be soggy before you bake it. If it's soggy before you bake it, it will be soggy after you bake it. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • 4. Blueberry Sauce: You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate, then warm up before serving. Stir together 1 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp corn starch in a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup water and stir until smooth so corn starch won't be clumpy. Heat to boiling and stir 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  • 5. Add 1 cup blueberries. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until blueberries start to burst. Don't let them all burst. I like some of the blueberries whole.
  • 6. Turn heat off the blueberry sauce and stir in 1 Tbsp butter. Store in plastic or glass container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • 7. The next morning preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take the casserole out of the refrigerator. Place covered casserole in the pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • 8. Then uncover and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until the top is a golden brown and the center is set.
  • 9. While the casserole is baking, you can heat up the blueberry sauce on top of the oven or microwave until warm. Serve over top of casserole.
  • 10. Prep time: 30 min to put everything together 8-24 hours - refrigerate several hours or overnight until bread is soaked through with egg, milk mixture. Cook time: 1 hour
  • 11. Alternate Sauce, I call it cheating. Take jam or preserves, whatever flavor of fruit you are using to make this. Put preserves in a small saucepan. Add 1 Tbsp corn starch. Mix until smooth. Add additional fruit if desired. Warm in a saucepan until smooth and thickened. Serve over the french toast, ice cream or anything else you can think of.

BLUEBERRY STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

From the Hennessey House Bed & Breakfast, Napa, California. This is very rich but so good. Time does not include overnight time in the refrigerator. Use a good quality syrup from the NE.

Provided by lazyme

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
8 ounces cream cheese, 1-inch cubes
1 loaf sourdough bread, sliced
0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen blueberries
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom of one pyrex dish (9x13).
  • Cut off the crust of each piece of bread, approximately 18 slices. Spray your dish with Pam cooking spray, and layer the bottom of the dish with half of the bread.
  • Cut your cream cheese into one-inch squares and sprinkle over the entire layer of French bread. Take half of the bag of berries and sprinkle over the cream cheese.
  • Add your second layer of bread on top of your cream cheese and berries.
  • Mix the eggs, milk and syrup together in a mixer or with a hand mixer in a large bowl and pour over the top layer of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight until ready to bake.
  • Bake covered with foil (spray foil with Pam to keep toast from sticking) for about one hour or more in a 375ºF oven. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes until lightly browned and the top of the bread in the center feels slightly dry.
  • Blueberry Sauce:.
  • Mix sugar and water together. Bring to a slow boil for 10 minutes. Add the berries and reduce heat when mixture returns to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Just before serving, thicken with a lump-free mixture of cornstarch and a small amount of water. Stir constantly until thickened to desired consistency. The cornstarch reacts to boiling water, add your mixture at the boiling point. Sauce is done when it coats the back of a spoon! This can be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator.

EASY BLUEBERRY STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Easy Blueberry Stuffed French Toast image

This is a variation on other recipes. I much prefer this one because it takes less ingredients and has much less sugar, and I never have sour cream in the house for more than an hour before somebody has devoured it with Doritos! I'm going to experiment sometime next week with making REAL stuffed (without the white bread--just thick hollow French Bread).

Provided by Dying4Eternity

Categories     Breakfast

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices white bread, crust less
4 slices French bread, sliced
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter (preferred over margarine!)
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon almond extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • When you cut the crusts off the bread, be sure to save as much of the bread part as possible, and cut off JUST the crust.
  • Grease an 8x8-inch glass dish.
  • Lay the slices of white bread, with crusts removed on the bottom of the dish.
  • Sprinkle bread with blueberries and ensure good coverage.
  • Place cream cheese and butter in microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're rather do this with a pan, feel free--remember to stir!
  • When the cream cheese goo is hot and well mixed, carefully stir in sugar and almond extract.
  • Carefully smear cream cheese over the blueberry mixture.
  • Layer the 4 (if your French bread is small, you may have to use more, the point is to have the French Bread cover the dish) French bread slices on top of the cream cheese.
  • In a tall glass or jar crack 4 eggs and add the milk and cinnamon.
  • Whisk with a fork until well blended.
  • Carefully pour egg mixture on the French bread and slightly squish the French bread with a fork to help the absorption.
  • Ensure that all the French bread slices are well covered.
  • Cover dish with aluminum foil (spray with cooking oil so it doesn't stick).
  • Let sit in the fridge overnight, or for at least 3-4 hours.
  • When its ready, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Cook covered for 45 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook an additional 15 minutes.
  • If you feel that its not cooked well enough, please cook longer--its at your discretion!

Cinnamon Blueberry French Toast image

This breakfast can be prepped ahead, which makes it convenient for entertaining. It's a go-to recipe for me when I'm hosting birthdays or holidays. My family likes it plain, so sometimes I leave out the blueberries and it tastes just as delicious. -Angela Lively, Conroe, Texas
