Time 9h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

vegetable cooking spray
12 slices Texas toast, crusts removed and bread cubed
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, cubed
½ cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup fresh blackberries
¼ cup fresh raspberries
9 large eggs
2 cups milk
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
1 cup fresh blueberries
½ cup fresh blackberries
½ cup fresh raspberries
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Spray the bottom of a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with vegetable spray and place 1/2 of the bread cubes into the dish. Put cream cheese cubes on top. Distribute blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries over the cream cheese. Place remaining bread over the berries.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl and add milk and maple syrup. Pour mixture over bread. Place plastic wrap over the dish and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from the dish and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until puffed and golden, about 30 minutes more.
  • While toast is baking, combine 1/2 of the blueberries, 1/2 of the blackberries, 1/2 of the raspberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until syrup thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in remaining berries and butter.
  • Let French toast sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. Pour berry syrup over individual pieces.
