Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole

Oh my. This is wonderful. I halved the recipe and skipped the step where you refrigerate overnight. I just baked it right away. Another commenter pointed out that the cream cheese doesn’t melt so I mixed it up with the bread too kind of coat it all. Fab! 👌 I also really like the technique for making the blueberry sauce! I’ll repeat that in the future for other recipes.

Very tasty! I used brioche and it turned out great. Very rich but the cream cheese tang cut through and kept it from being too sweet. Make sure to spray the pan REAL well though!

I can never follow a recipe without wanting to tweak it myself. I used 6 slices of a french toast bread from the bakery, and six slices of wheat. Next time I'm going to do 12 slices on French toast bread. The other thing is the cream cheese I wasn't a fan of how it kind of stays lumpy I thought it was going to kind of ooze all over the whole mixture and blend in a little bit but it didn't. Still with that said it was very tasty. I would change the blueberry syrup to just a blueberry store-bought syrup, it was a little easier. The reason I say that is I'm trying to tweak this for a camping trip this summer and just eliminates a few steps. I used both the syrup that you make in the recipe and I used blueberry syrup which was perfect for what I'm thinking. All in all this was a fun recipe will feed probably feed 6 to 10 people depending on portions. We like to have a lot of options at Camp breakfast so I'm leaning more towards enough for 8. I think this could be a little bit kid friendly as far as helping make it. The bread doesn't necessarily need to be cut with a sharp knife it could be ripped apart, so younger kids can help. And the rest of it some of the older kids could help if everybody likes to do a group breakfast thing. A side note I chilled it for 24 hours I would like to make the next one in less time because if we go camping we're not going to have a fridge available for 24 hours going to have a cooler and I'm thinking maybe the night before and then putting it in a cooler more like 8 to 10 hrs. Last thought, maybe swapping Yogurt for the cream cheese such as greek vanilla, or even more blueberry!
