BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Blueberry French Toast Casserole | Just A Pinch Recipes 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 and strawberries. Bread pudding meets french toast in this amazing breakfast.

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • French Toast Casserole: Spray 9 X 13-inch dish with Pam. Cut or tear bread into cubes and arrange in the bottom of dish.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Turn heat off the blueberry sauce and stir in 1 Tbsp butter. Store in plastic or glass container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • 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.
  • Then uncover and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until the top is a golden brown and the center is set.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.

Total Time 60 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 50 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 loaf day old French bread (whole wheat, brioche, challah, or ciabatta, cut into 1-inch cubes)
6 eggs
2 ¼ cups milk
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or light brown sugar)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar (or pure maple syrup)
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place the bread cubes in an even layer in the dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread in the dish.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, maple syrup or brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle over the casserole.
  • At this point, you can refrigerate the casserole overnight (covered) and bake in the morning, or let it rest for 20-30 minutes (in the refrigerator) and then bake right away.
  • When you are ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10-20 minutes more, until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is set. Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup, as desired.
